ci: enforce PR titles to follow the conventional commit specification (…

…#3204)

As per decision in #3083, we want to use the conventional commits in our repository. To make sure this actually happens, this patch adds a workflow that validates PR titles to follow this convention. Together with our mergify configuration, these PR titles end up being the commit message title when squash-merging a pull request.
