octoherd-script-use-pull-request-title-as-default-commit-message

Enables use_squash_pr_title_as_default setting for repository

When merging a pull request using the Squash and Merge button, the default commit message depends on how many commits there are in the pull request.

If there is a single commit, the commit message is used as the squash commit message.
If there are multiple commits, the pull request titles is used as the default commit message.

In May 2022, GitHub introduced the "Default to PR title for squash merge commits" option. This script enables this feature programmatically in all given repositories.
