This commit adds a scheduled job on the master branch to trigger jobs on other branches via the `workflow_dispatch` event.

Scarthgap is the most recent yocto release. Scarthgap will also be a LTS release that is supported until April 2028. Signed-off-by: Leonard Göhrs <[email protected]>
Kirkstone is a yocto LTS release that is supported until April 2026. Signed-off-by: Leonard Göhrs <[email protected]>
