Port update reference data pipeline to GitHub Actions

[epassaro]

📝 Description

Type: 🎢 infrastructure

This GA workflow replaces the Azure update-refdata pipeline, and does exactly the same job: using the slash command /update-refdata the workflow is called, generates new reference data based on the changes made in the pull request, and then opens a new pull request in the tardis-refdata repository proposing these changes.

• Create new dispatch.yml workflow to allow running other workflows via slash commands
• Create new update-refdata.yml workflow
• Deleted the Azure Pipeline's YAML file
• Patched the Arepo tests to skip generating reference data

Closes #2251

🚦 Testing

How did you test these changes?

• Testing pipeline
• Other method (describe)
• My changes can't be tested (explain why)

Tested on my fork:

• slash trigger: Create foo epassaro/tardis#45 (comment)
• result: Automated update (debug) tardis-refdata#61

It's unlikely that this workflow works out of the box, but it was tested as much as possible.

Hi, human.

The docs workflow has succeeded ✔️

Could you write a short summary (or just docs) describing what the refdata pipeline does now? Is it identical to the Azure version in steps?

Yes, I could write a summary in the PR body.

This is just a port of the pipeline that generates new reference data and opens a pull request in the tardis-refdata repository.

I'm planning to port compare-refdata pipeline after this (it's a bit more complicated), and then update the entire CI/CD section of the documentation that is very, very outdated.
