P2 Badge Use a review-request event that GitHub emits

pull_request_target does not emit the review_requested activity type (its supported activities are limited to assigned/unassigned, labeled/unlabeled, opened, synchronize, reopened, and closed). Consequently this workflow will never start when CODEOWNERS requests Pigbibi's review, so the requested review remains in place for every Dependabot PR.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.
