build: auto start Jenkins CI via PR labels

Rodrigo Muino Tomonari requested to merge github/fork/mmarchini/auto-start-ci-via-label into master

Add an Action that will find every PR with the request-ci label and will start a Jenkins CI for each of these Pull Requests. The scheduler event is used to circumvent GitHub Actions limitations on Pull Requests from forks (where secrets are not accessible and the GITHUB_TOKEN is read-only).

If the Action fails to start a CI, it will add a request-ci-failed label and will leave a comment with the error message from NCU.

Requirements to land

  • Create a Jenkins token for @nodejs-github-bot
  • Add JENKINS_USER and JENKINS_TOKEN secrets to this repository (or to the entire org, if we want this to work on forks such as quic and node-auto-test as well)
  • Land https://github.com/nodejs/node-core-utils/pull/445 and wait for the next NCU release
  • Test more extensively on node-auto-test before landing
  • Create request-ci and request-ci-failed labels in this repository
Checklist
  • make -j4 test (UNIX), or vcbuild test (Windows) passes
  • tests and/or benchmarks are included
  • documentation is changed or added
  • commit message follows commit guidelines
