The CI script to ensure no LavaMoat policy changes are required has
been failing despite there being no changes. It turns out that the
command used to check for changes (`git diff-index`) was failing
despite the lack of changes because the file was written again by
`yarn lavamoat:auto` but git hadn't gotten around to updating its index
since the write occurred, so it was considering it as changed until it
verified it wasn't [1].
The command has been replaced by `git diff --exit-code --quiet`, which
should do exactly the same thing except that it forces git to update
its internal cache to verify whether changes are present.

A CI job has been added to ensure the `allow-scripts` config and the
LavaMoat auto-generated policy is up-to-date. This will only run on
release branches and the `master` branch, because it's too difficult a
requirement to meet for each PR for contributors on macOS, due to
differences in the dependency graph caused by optional dependencies.
The `allow-scripts` and LavaMoat policy have both been updated using
`yarn allow-scripts auto` and `yarn lavamoat:auto`.
