forgejo-backport-action 164c5ef87f [v12.0/forgejo] fix: make API /repos/{owner}/{repo}/compare/{basehead} work with forks (#8331)
**Backport:** https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/pulls/8326

- fix: API must use headGitRepo instead of ctx.Repo.GitRepo for comparing
- fix: make API /repos/{owner}/{repo}/compare/{basehead} work with forks
- add test coverage for both fixes and the underlying function `parseCompareInfo`
- refactor and improve part of the helpers from `tests/integration/api_helper_for_declarative_test.go`
- remove a few wrong or misleading comments

Refs forgejo/forgejo#7978

## Note on the focus of the PR

It was initially created to address a regression introduced in v12. But the tests that verify it is fixed discovered a v11.0 bug. They cannot conveniently be separated because they both relate to the same area of code that was previously not covered by any test.

## Note on v11.0 backport

It must be manually done by cherry-picking all commits up to and not including `fix: API must use headGitRepo instead of ctx.Repo.GitRepo for comparing` because it is v12 specific.
