created a new workflow for running nightly release branch tests

- only run a single cloud test (arbitrarily GKE) and kind testing. A single cloud test is sufficient for release branch testing
- gcloud plugin enabled to handle deprecations with older gke cli
- updated consul-helm-test-image to latest version
