Fix incorrect first-interaction detection

[t-hamano]

Problem

This PR fixes an issue where the action incorrectly detects a "first interaction" and greets contributors who are not actually first-time contributors.

This conditional statement was modified by #311, which appears to be unintentional.

Before:

let firstContribution = false;
if (isIssue) {
    firstContribution = yield isFirstIssue(client, issue.owner, issue.repo, sender, issue.number);
}
else {
    firstContribution = yield isFirstPull(client, issue.owner, issue.repo, sender, issue.number);
}
if (!firstContribution) {
    console.log('Not the users first contribution');
    return;
}

After:

if (!(await isFirstIssue(octokit)) && !(await isFirstPullRequest(octokit)))
    return core.info('Skipping...Not First Contribution')

This logic change will cause isFirstIssue to always be true if the issue feature is disabled on the repository, consequently adding a message to contributors who have already submitted a PR.

Approach

Restore the original behavior: evaluate only the check matching the event type. As a result, both the first issue and the first pull request are considered first contributions. This is the same specification as before the action was converted from a container action.

Pull request overview

This PR restores the original “first interaction” semantics by checking only the contribution type that matches the triggering event (issue vs pull request), preventing repeat contributors from being incorrectly greeted when only one feature (issues/PRs) is enabled.

Changes:

• Update first-contribution detection to evaluate only isFirstIssue for issue events and only isFirstPullRequest for PR events.
• Regenerate dist/index.js to reflect the source change.
• Expand/adjust unit tests to cover event-specific first-contribution scenarios.

• This test now describes “prior issues and PRs”, but run() only evaluates the first-contribution check that matches the event type (issue vs PR). Because the default test context is a PR event, the current setup (mocking two paginate calls) can still pass even if a regression reintroduces calling both checks. Rename the test to match the PR-only behavior and assert the correct API call/count.
