Add support for ghr:bypass-removal EC2 tag that allows engineers to manually tag runners to prevent them from being scaled down during debugging or investigation. When this tag is set to 'true', the runner will be skipped during scale-down operations with appropriate logging.

Add support for ghr:bypass-removal EC2 tag that allows engineers to manually tag runners to prevent them from being scaled down during debugging or investigation. When this tag is set to 'true', the runner will be skipped during scale-down operations with appropriate logging. Tested on our staging environment and things are working: <img width="967" height="102" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2de96e22-4ec7-43ba-aace-6152f4a5fdb8" /> This small change makes debugging some issue on the runner significantly easier...
