Build/Test Tools: Run test workflows on old branches on a schedule.

On TravisCI, old branches still receiving security updates were tested on a regular basis. This ensured tests continued to pass as time passed even if updates were not made to these branches.

On GitHub Actions, there is no interface to configure this (TravisCI had a UI), but there is a schedule event that can trigger workflow runs on cron that can be used to accomplish the same thing.

This introduces a workflow file that runs twice a month (on the 1st and 15th) to verify the tests within older branches.

Because the schedule event only runs within the primary branch, the appropriate workflows in each old branch will be triggered manually through the workflow_dispatch trigger using the GitHub REST API. workflow_dispatch will need to be added to all workflows in all old branches in order for the event to dispatch successfully.

Fixes #52653.
