Orthogonalize the CI workflow by separating out redundant steps that were previously lumped in with other variations.

Details

Backport requirements

None.
Beneficial to have on all active branches, so labels have been added accordingly.

Notes

Once this branch has been merged it is important to update the PR merge requirements & status checks for the newly structured CI steps (which is why this PR currently claims that 6 status checks are missing).

[KimonHoffmann]

I'm not a github action expert by any means but I can't seem to find when/how the new reuse.yml workflow is invoked. I don't see any trace of it in the build logs.

It is (now) a separate workflow with its separate trigger that runs independently of the CI build.

Thanks for this. LGTM

@KimonHoffmann should we backport to 1.1 or focus only on main? if so, please add the required labels.

We could, yes. I'll add the labels accordingly.

@KimonHoffmann DCO issues on some commits.

Ah, yes thank you. Fixed.

Please note that I didn't yet merge the PR, because we need to coordinate this with the required PR status checks, as you can see above where it claims that there are "6 [status checks] expected" that did not yet complete.

The reason for this is that the jobs changed and the 6 checks refer to the old set of jobs. I'd propose we do this all at once as part of today's TSC meeting so that everyone can rebase their PRs accordingly.

@KimonHoffmann is this ready to be merged?

[KimonHoffmann]

Yes I'll merge it this week.
I was a bit reluctant as this will change the required checks for PRs and thus needs a rebase/merge of every open PR. But since this is an inconvenience that won't magically go away it as good a time as any to take that plunge.
