Template-compliance check nags renovate-bot because it runs under a User account #7063

Description

@Yicong-Huang

Task Summary

The contributor-checks job in .github/workflows/contributor-checks.yml gates on github.event.sender.type != 'Bot' to avoid nagging automated PR/issue openers about the contribution template. That gate only excludes GitHub App bots (e.g. dependabot[bot], account type Bot) — it does not exclude bots that run under a regular User account. Renovate on this repo runs as renovate-bot, whose account type is User, so it slips through the gate and gets the "the description doesn't follow our template" warning on every dependency-update PR (example: #7060). The task is to also exclude renovate-bot from the check so its PRs are no longer flagged. Fix proposed in #7062.
