ref_name-description.md: fix format for PRs#30907

Conversation
The docs for `github.ref_name` claim that for PRs, the format is `refs/pull/<pr_number>/merge`; however I have just tested this and found that the actual format is `<pr_number>/merge`. This makes sense, since it's more consistent with `github.ref_name` being the short form of `github.ref` in other cases. So fix the docs to represent the actual reality that it returns the short format for PRs too.

Why:
The current docs for
github.ref_namedo not represent the reality of how it behaves. Instead, they claim that for PRs, the format isrefs/pull/<pr_number>/merge. This claim comes from PR #29712 which was submitted to address issue #15319.However when referring to
github.refandgithub.ref_name, #15319 states:I have just tested this and found that the actual format is indeed
<pr_number>/merge, not the longer version. (This makes sense, since it's more consistent withgithub.ref_namebeing the short form ofgithub.refin other cases.)What's being changed (if available, include any code snippets, screenshots, or gifs):
This PR fixes the docs to represent the actual reality that
github.ref_namealways returns the short format, even for PRs.Check off the following:
