## Problem
We want to release Proxy at a different cadence.
## Summary of changes
- build-and-test workflow:
- Handle the `release-proxy` branch
- Tag images built on this branch with `release-proxy-XXX` tag
- Trigger deploy workflow with `deployStorage=true` &
`deployStorageBroker=true` on `release` branch
- Trigger deploy workflow with `deployPgSniRouter=true` &
`deployProxy=true` on `release-proxy` branch
- release workflow (scheduled creation of release branch):
- Schedule Proxy releases for Thursdays (a random day to make it
different from Storage releases)
Prepare for a new release workflow
* Release PR is created on Fridays
* The discussion/approval happens during Friday
* Sunday morning the deployment will be done in central-il and perf
tests will be run
* On Monday early IST morning gradually start rolling (starting from US
regions as they are still in weekend time)

## Problem
If @github-actions creates release PR, the CI pipeline is not triggered
(but we have `release-notify.yml` workflow that we expect to run on this
event).
I suspect this happened because @github-actions is not a repository
member.
