Fix project access token regression

What does this MR do?

Resolves #296028 (closed) by fixing a regression introduced in !47247 (merged).

It modifies the authentication system to reintroduce the project_bot? check. Otherwise, JWTs would not be issued for bot users outside of a project scope (e.g. the container registry), like described in #296028 (closed).

Please use this MR only as template. I would suggest adding a regression test that detects the error that happened previously, and request a security review because I am unfamiliar with GitLab's auth system. However, no security review happened for !47247 (merged) and I am not sure which process to follow here. Effectively, this MR just reverts a change.

Please close the MR in favor of a new one if you decide to add a regression test. I can add changelog items if this MR is acceptable.
