Remove hardcoded lower bound from merged: range in backport search

maxknv · maxknv · commit 2aa2cf4c0109 · 2026-03-27T19:40:04.000+01:00
The merged:2020-01-01.. lower bound was unnecessary — the updated:&gt;=90d
filter already limits candidates to recently active PRs in steady state.
Use merged:..{cutoff} to express only the upper bound (not yet eligible).
