Authenticate user for GitHub CI Actions

[TerrenceMcGuinness-NOAA]

Description

Fixes #1751

Adding a separate repo for the GitHub Actions Workflow CI Pipeline https://github.com/NOAA-EMC/ci-workflows This gives us an authentication step on a per user bases stored in an off repo privat text file. The main pipeline file in the new ci-workflows repo is referenced within the global-workflow GitHub workflow file with the line: uses: TerrenceMcGuinness-NOAA/CI-workflows/.github/workflows/orion.yaml@main This will be moved to EMC/CI-workflows when the runner is no longer running from TerrenceMcGuinness-NOAA account.

This was used as a proof of concept for demonstrating that one can use a whitelist to authenticate permitted users to launch CI with self-hosted runner.

This will be picked up again at a later time when RHDPCS finishes reviewing the open request to allow self-hosted Github runners on RDHPCS platforms.

Closing.
