Use new APIs in unreleased-commits

Description

Github just added the ability to compare an oid to a branch and get the ahead count.

{
  repository(owner: "refined-github", name: "refined-github") {
    ref(qualifiedName: "main") {
      compare(headRef: "5e50f67") {
        behindBy
      }
    }
  }
}

Excellent! Is this useful for "update PR base branch" too?

Also authors can now manually set the latest tag, we can ask for it: https://github.blog/changelog/2022-10-21-explicitly-set-the-latest-release/

Renamed due to:

• Drop latest-tag-button feature #6575
• Add unreleased-commits feature #6576

[fregante]

To use this new API we have to know:

• the latest tag
• the latest commit on the default branch

We can know both in one API call, but then we have to use them to make a new API call to use compare()

In contrast, our current API call gets both information at once and then we use to calculate the behindBy

export const getRepoPublishState = cache.function('tag-ahead-by', async (): Promise<RepoPublishState> => {

I mentioned this API in a comment, maybe we can use it in the future 3d8507c
