Fixes #1786.

The Developer Guide previously implied that any contributor could click the "Re-run jobs" button to retry a failing CI check. This updates the pull-request-lifecycle.rst documentation to explicitly state that the button is only visible to core developers and triagers. It also provides alternative workarounds for regular contributors (e.g. asking a reviewer, pushing an empty commit, or closing/re-opening the PR).
