[BUG] Backport workflow seems to have broken backports

[dbwiddis]

What is the bug?

After updating to VachaShah/backport@v2.2.0, backport workflows are failing.

How can one reproduce the bug?

Merge a PR. Observe the backport workflow fail.

See: https://github.com/opensearch-project/opensearch-sdk-java/actions/workflows/backport.yml

What is the expected behavior?

Backport workflow completes.

What is your host/environment?

GitHub Actions.

Do you have any screenshots?

Run VachaShah/backport@v2.2.0 with: github_token: *** head_template: backport/backport-<%= number %>-to-<%= base %> body_template: Backport <%= mergeCommitSha %> from #<%= number %>. label_pattern: ^backport (?([^ ]+))$ labels_template: [] title_template: [Backport <%= base %>] <%= title %> Warning: Your repository allows merge commits and rebase merging. However, Backport only supports rebased and merged pull requests with a single commit and squashed and merged pull requests. Consider only allowing squash merging.

Do you have any additional context?

Mostly posting this for situational awareness. I assume 2.2.0 has a bug and we should either revert to 2.1.0, or wait for 2.3.0, and in the meantime we should be alert when we merge PRs to manually backport them.
