Use the text of pull-request as the squash commit's message (#13071)

Originally, it was filled by the commit messages of the involved
commits. In this change, we use the headline comment of the pull
request as the commit message when it is a squash merge.

Thanks to @zeripath for suggesting the idea.

Fixes #12365
