Define reusable workflow

[jglick]

Can https://github.blog/changelog/2021-10-05-github-actions-dry-your-github-actions-configuration-by-reusing-workflows/ be used to combine this action, https://github.com/jenkins-infra/verify-ci-status-action, and https://github.com/jenkins-infra/interesting-category-action into one reusable workflow rather than forcing every repo to copy all of https://github.com/jenkinsci/.github/blob/ac892e4a1a6bec7b125d25cca2c826d4fef6f9c5/workflow-templates/cd.yaml#L11-L59?

I have written a couple of reusable workflows some open source: https://github.com/specshell/.github/blob/main/.github/workflows/dotnet-build.yml https://github.com/cellpointdigital/.github/blob/main/.github/workflows/docker-build.yml usage of docker build: https://github.com/cellpointdigital/pgbouncer-image/blob/main/.github/workflows/docker-build.yml

I'd suggest we keep them in a separate repository so not sure who I need to ask for a reusable workflow repository inside jenkins-infra

The reason for the workflows located inside .github/workflows is so Dependabot would pick up action updates 😅

Just create a ticket in the help desk repo of this org

@timja we have a dummy plugin somewhere just for testing CD workflow changes right? Can never remember where…
