workflows: pr-trigger: add

Add a workflow for triggering workflows named "build-<package>.yml"
(and if present, "test-<package>.yml") with desired release tags for a
given package. For automated upgrade checks and manual changes, this
means that the tags only need to be specified in the PR description when
opened.

This is based on the process in wheel_builder where a child pipeline
would be generated automatically when a merge request was submitted with
one or more package version tags listed as e.g. "Trigger:
polars:py-1.42.1" in the MR description.
