`gh pr lock` does not accept url even though it is mentioned in the manual

[alvinsjoy]

Describe the bug

The gh pr lock {<number> | <url>} [flags] command is meant to accept pull request urls as per the manual but does accept them and shows an error: invalid issue format: "https://github.com/user/repo/pull/60".

The screenshot provided shows the command and the error.

gh version 2.43.1 (2024-01-31)

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Type gh pr lock "https://github.com/username/repo/pull/number" using valid username, repo, pull request number.

Expected vs actual behavior

The gh pr lock command should accept url to the pr just like gh pr merge command accepts urls.

Agree this is a bug. The functionality backing this is expecting you to provide the issue URL rather than the PR URL i.e.

gh pr lock "https://github.com/alvinsjoy/PortfolioWebsite/issues/60" --reason resolved

This regex is no bueno:

cli/pkg/cmd/issue/shared/lookup.go

Line 103 in c0658b7

var issueURLRE = regexp.MustCompile(`^/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/issues/(\d+)`)

I'll mark this as help wanted.
