fix(pull): name the head repository in default compare links (#39075) (#39079)

Backport #39075 by @4RH1T3CT0R7

The "New Pull Request" buttons and the `/pulls/new/{branch}` redirect
build their compare link as `{owner}:{branch}`. If a fork and its parent
share an owner, through ALLOW_FORK_INTO_SAME_OWNER, or after a transfer,
that head resolves back to the base repo, so the link compares the base
against itself and 404s on a branch that only exists in the fork.

Switching to `{owner}/{repo}:{branch}` names the head repo
unambiguously, and it's what the compare page's own links already use.

Also clears the 404 in #37649; the archived-parent half of that report
is separate.
