Subject: [PATCH 1/2] feat: add GitHub Action for automatic backporting of PRs

- Add backport.yml workflow that triggers on merged PRs with backport labels
- Supports label pattern 'backport-to-<branch-name>' for targeting specific branches
- Automatically creates backport PRs with proper titles and descriptions
- Reports failures with manual cherry-pick instructions
- Copies reviewers, assignees, and non-backport labels to new PRs
