Why:

The ruleset documentation explains how the Restrict creations rule works, but it does not mention that merge queue branches also need permission to be created.

When this rule applies to all branches, merge queue branches matching
gh-readonly-queue/{base_branch} can be blocked unless the GitHub Merge Queue app is added to the bypass list.

Closes #45334

What's being changed:

Add documentation explaining that the GitHub Merge Queue app must be added to the bypass list when the Restrict creations rule applies to merge queue branches.

Testing:

  • Ran git diff --check.
  • Verified that the change is limited to the relevant ruleset documentation.
