Fetch additional pages when exact-state filtering removes results.

For an owner-qualified lookup with state: "merged" and limit: 1, 100 newer unmerged closed PRs cause this code to return [], even when the next page contains a merged PR. The inverse applies to state: "closed". The REST request fetches only one page, then this filter removes the opposite state. GitHub exposes pagination for this endpoint. (docs.github.com)

Continue fetching until enough exact-state records remain or no pages remain. Add this boundary case to the existing state-filter tests.

Review comment at @packages/source-control-github/src/server/GitHubSourceControlProvider.ts around lines 649 - 650:
Update the owner-qualified state-filtering lookup so it continues fetching REST pages until it has the requested number of exact-state records or no pages remain, then apply the limit; preserve the existing behavior for state "all". Add a state-filter test covering a full first page of opposite-state records followed by a matching record on the next page.
