P2 Badge Keep an account-free queue for fork pull requests

In this configuration, default is the only queue and its conditions also match ordinary contributor PRs once build succeeds; the Renovate author condition restricts only automatic enqueueing, while @mergifyio queue selects the first matching queue. With in-place checks and update_method: rebase, setting update_bot_account causes Mergify to reject PRs from forks, whereas previously it could rebase ordinary fork PRs through GitHub's API. The queue command documentation confirms manual routing, and the queue-rule documentation documents the fork rejection. Use a separate Renovate-specific queue with this account so maintainers can still queue external contributors' PRs.
