CI(pre-merge-checks): add required checks (#9700)

## Problem
The Merge queue doesn't work because it expects certain jobs, which we
don't have in the `pre-merge-checks` workflow.
But it turns out we can just create jobs/checks with the same names in
any workflow that we run.

## Summary of changes
- Add `conclusion` jobs
- Create `neon-cloud-e2e` status check
- Add a bunch of `if`s to handle cases with no relevant changes found
and prepare the workflow to run rust checks in the future
- List the workflow in `report-workflow-stats` to collect stats about it
