The new `concurrency` setting can be used to ensure only a single workflow run or job is in progress. When used in combination with the `cancel-in-progress` setting, incomplete workflow runs can be cancelled automatically to prevent running workflows unnecessarily.
The workflows that take longer to run previously had this built into a step and utilized a 3rd-party action. Now that this is natively supported by GitHub Actions, using that is preferred.
This option is currently in beta, but is stable enough to use in our workflows for the time being.

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.

This also adds inline comments to the end of each action installed using a SHA value to make it easier to determine which version of an action is currently being used.

This change adds a list of paths to check when determining which workflows to run on `pull_request`. This will prevent certain workflows from running unnecessarily when the files updated are not related to the tests and checks being performed.

Different branches have support for different types of testing based on the tooling that was in place at the time each version was branched. The workflows currently in place have patterns configured to match the relevant `branches` and `tags` for each workflow, but only for `push` events.
This copies the patterns for matching supported `branches` over to the `pull_request` event to prevent workflows from running for a pull request to a branch that does not support that workflow.
Fixes#52643.

This expands the list of events that triggers automated testing to include tags.
It also refines the matched version ranges for several workflows.

This simplifies the caching of Composer dependencies in the coding standards and PHP compatibility workflows by using a published action. This combines 3 steps into 1 within these workflows.
Because the Composer implementation within the PHPUnit test workflow is a bit specialized (`composer install` is run within the Docker container), caching has been left as is in that workflow. However, the cache key has been changed to include the version of PHP being tested. This will prevent incorrect versions of dependencies being present when they are required on jobs other than PHP 8.

In the current state, the workflows run regardless of the repository context. This results many needless workflow runs that waste resources.
Workflow runs for private repositories are not free (accounts have a finite allotment of minutes for private repositories). This becomes problematic in private repositories that also mirror the WordPress develop repository, as any workflow runs will draw from a user’s or organization’s allotted action minutes.
Without blanket disabling the workflow manually for all event triggers, or modifying the workflow files in the forked/mirrored repository, there is no way to tune when the workflows run.
This change introduces a conditional statement into all GitHub Action workflows that prevents them from running on forked/mirrored repositories that are not `wordpress-develop`, except when a pull request is being submitted to that repository.
The exception to this is the Welcome workflow that posts a helpful message to first time contributors to `wordpress-develop`. This message is specific to this repository, so should only run when a PR is submitted to that repository.
See #50401.

This change introduces 6 different workflows accounting for all of the testing and analysis currently performed in Travis CI & Appveyor:
- Checking PHP & JS coding standards are followed
- Running the end-to-end test suite.
- Running QUnit tests on JavaScript files.
- Scanning for PHP compatibility issues with supported version.
- Running the PHPUnit test suite.
- Verifying NPM related tasks do not cause errors on Windows.
Additionally, a seventh workflow is included that will leave a "welcome" comment when a contributor opens their first pull request to the `wordpress-develop` mirror.
These workflows are currently in an experimental phase. For that reason, Travis CI and Appveyor will continue to run until all of the bugs can be worked out.
