Make the get-latest-components workflow conditional.

[kishansinghifs1]

Fix #682 - Part 1

1. Gate the gather-refs job in system-tests-pr.yml with the trigger-system-tests label check so the workflow skips entirely for unlabeled PRs
   • Added conditional: if: ${{ github.event.label.name == 'trigger-system-tests' }}
   • This prevents unnecessary API calls when the workflow isn't explicitly triggered

Checklist:

• I added a summary of any user-facing changes (compared to the last release) in the changelog-entries/<PRnumber>.md.
• I will remember to squash-and-merge, providing a useful summary of the changes of this PR.

Thank you for the contribution.

The conditional check already worked in this PR.

I am not sure if passing the GITHUB_TOKEN would be the right approach here. In #682, the suggestion was for an app id, which we would need to set up.

Let's split this into two. Please remove the authentication aspects, and we see if that's enough. I think it will be.

Btw, I renamed the PR, please rename again after removing the authentication aspects.

Hiii @MakisH I was initially thinking of the same but now as you clarified it would be more helpful to me.I'll apply those changes and let you know soon. Thanks for the review!!!!!!!!
