Merge pull request #12233 from kumahq/ci/allow-to-run-gh-built-test-d…

…istribute-workflow-on-workflow-dispatch-release-2-6

## Motivation

We don’t know how stable our CI is on release branches because we don’t
make changes to them often. This means we don’t get enough feedback
about their status.

## Implementation information

This is a part of the effort to run tests on CI for release branches on
schedule. As GitHub doesn't allow to run workflows on schedule from
branches other than default (master in our case), the best solution I
could find is to allow to run `build-test-distribute` workflow on
`workflow_dispatch` event and then in master on schedule send a REST
call to manually trigger these workflows on wanted release branches.
