bpo-40548: Fix "Check for source changes (pull_request)" GH Action job (pythonGH-21806)

On Git 2.28, "git diff master..." (3 dots) no longer works when "fetch --depth=1" is used, whereas it works on Git 2.26. Replace "..." (3 dots) with ".." (2 dots) in the "git diff" command computing the list of modified files between the base branch and the PR branch.
