Subject: [PATCH] [AI] Github action for unfreezing PRs (#7094)

* [AI] Add GitHub Action to add PR to Merge Freeze unblocked list when unfreeze label is added

Made-with: Cursor

* Rename 7093.md to 7094.md

* Add concurrency control to unfreeze job in merge-freeze-unfreeze workflow

- Introduced concurrency settings to prevent overlapping executions of the unfreeze job based on labels.
- Updated error handling to abort the process if fetching the current merge freeze status fails, ensuring unblocked PRs are not overwritten.

* Refactor Merge Freeze workflow to simplify PR unblocking process

- Updated the workflow to directly post the PR to the unblocked list without fetching the current freeze status.
- Improved error handling by ensuring the access token is set before proceeding with the API call.
