[PATCH 2/2] ci: make the "skip-if-redundant" check more defensive

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

In 7d78d5fc1a9 (ci: skip GitHub workflow runs for already-tested commits/trees, 2020-10-08), we added a check that determines whether there is already a workflow run for the given commit (or at least tree), and if found, skips the current run.

We just worked around an issue with this check where older runs might unexpectedly miss the `head_commit` attribute.

Let's be even more defensive by catching all kinds of exceptions, logging them as warnings, and continue the run without skipping it (after all, if the check fails, we _want_ to continue with the run).

This commit is best viewed with the diff option `-w` because it increases the indentation level of the GitHub Action script by two spaces, surrounding it by a `try ... catch` construct.
