Misc #17936: Run Travis at push on forked repository

I want to change the current condition to run Travis to improve developer's experience.

In my understanding, currently on ruby/ruby, Travis is executed at pull-request and push timing to only master or ruby_N_N branches by the branches syntax part in .travis.yml.

I think it's convenient if the developers can run Travis on their forked branches at the push timing without changing .travis.yml. It's like GitHub Actions. As a note, if the branches syntax part is removed in .travis.yml, it is possible to run Travis at the push timing on the forked repository even now. But it's not convenient.

For example, here are the actual cases where the PR is used by developers just to check the Travis CI result.

• Accept different stride sizes to heap_page_allocate: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/4500
• Travis env: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/4551

I am asking how to do this in the Travis community now. Maybe we need to use the if syntax on the top level.

Conditional builds with 1 “Travis CI - Pull-Request” in pull-request and push from any branches?
https://travis-ci.community/t/11673

Just removing the branches syntax part in .travis.yml is not enough. Because the 2 Travis builds are executed at the pull-request on the condition. You can see the picture on above Travis ticket as a reference.

Enable Travis on the specific branches or forked repositories.

Align the Travis enabling timing with GitHub Actions.

For the syntax, see https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/conditions-v1.
We use repo syntax rather than fork = true/false syntax to show a general usage in any repositories on GitHub.
The non-forked repo is not always a primary repo in any GitHub repositories.

The PR was merged. I expect that now you can run Travis on any branches on your forked repo without changing .travis.yml as well as GitHub Actions.
