Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
When the GitHub status check (docs) is enabled, the "Details" link opens a Gitpod workspace for a given PR.
This is inconsistent with other status checks which bring users to logs or details about the status check. For example, Netlify and Vercel's "Details" link opens the deployment logs.
Describe the behaviour you'd like
For projects that I configure via https://gitpod.io/new, I'd like the status check's Details link to bring me to the Gitpod dashboard where I see the logs for the given Prebuild.
For projects that are not configured in the Gitpod dashboard, we can either keep the current behaviour of opening a workspace for the PR or link to https://www.gitpod.io/docs/prebuilds#projects-and-prebuilds.

First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.

- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by tracing the GitHub status check described in the issue and the Prebuild documentation, then review the behavior reached through gitpod.io/new and the Gitpod dashboard. Done means the Details link opens the dashboard's logs for configured projects while preserving an acceptable fallback for projects not configured there; validate both paths.
