The bug-report bot re-filed itself every run on Gitea; nine copies

`find_issue()` skipped pull requests by testing for the PRESENCE of the
`pull_request` key. GitHub omits that key on a plain issue. Gitea sends it as
`null`. So on Gitea every issue was thrown away as if it were a PR, the lookup
came back empty on every run, and the bot took the "nothing filed yet" branch and
opened a brand-new report instead of editing the one already open.

Nine of them piled up on the canonical forge. Four were filed AFTER the commit
that was supposed to stop exactly this -- the same failure it was written to
prevent, moved from comments to issues. It survived because `find_issue` was the
one function here with no test; the mirror deduped correctly, and the mirror is
what anybody would have looked at.

Test the value, not the key: it is the only form that is true on both forges.
Pinned by tests that carry each forge's payload shape by hand.

Also send both paging parameters. GitHub reads `per_page`, Gitea reads `limit`,
and each ignores the other's; Gitea's default page is 30, so the lookup would
have begun missing the report once the pile it was creating outgrew one page.

## Unreleased
### Fixed
- **The compatibility bot filed a new duplicate bug report on every Gitea run.**
`find_issue()` skipped pull requests by testing for the *presence* of the
`pull_request` key. GitHub omits that key on a plain issue; Gitea sends it as
`null`. So on Gitea every issue was discarded as a PR, the lookup always came back
empty, and the bot took the "nothing filed yet" branch and opened a fresh report
each run — **nine copies on the canonical forge**, four of them filed *after* the
commit that was meant to stop precisely this. The mirror was fine, which is why it
went unnoticed: GitHub's payload shape is the one the filter was written against.
It is the same failure the anti-spam fix was written to prevent, moved from
comments to issues, and it survived because `find_issue` was the only function in
`compat_publish.py` with no test. It now has one, per forge, and the daily cron —
which had not yet run once — no longer accumulates a report a day.
The issue list is also requested with **both** paging parameters (`per_page` for
GitHub, `limit` for Gitea). Each forge ignores the other's, and Gitea's default page
is 30, so the lookup would have started missing the report again once the pile it
was creating grew past one page.
