⚡️ Speed up function is_repo_a_fork by 40% in PR #371 (chore/error-on-missing-key-in-fork)

Here’s a **faster** version, making these improvements.

- Avoid repeatedly calling `os.getenv()` and `Path.open()` for the same event file, by using an explicit cache variable for the file contents. This accelerates repeated lookups and reduces disk accesses.
- Remove double @lru_cache use, as the value from `get_cached_gh_event_data()` will not change for a process lifetime and can be memory-cached explicitly.
- Microoptimize the `is_repo_a_fork` logic by removing an unnecessary bool(...) coercion (the value is already True/False).

Here’s the rewritten program.



**Key notes:**
- The event file is read at most once per process.
- All redundant calls and mutable global state are avoided.
- Fast subsequent access due to a module-level cache; you’ll see lower file-system and JSON load latency.
- The returned values are identical for the same environment and state, and function signatures are maintained.

Let me know if you want further micro-optimizations!
