[CI] create final status check for protected branches

[wileyj]

add a final step in the ci process (ci.yml?) that checks the output from all required worfklows with a pass/fail output.
for protected branches, only use the result of this output for the required status checks.

problem: adding 50 or so workflows due to a matrix is not managed easily. adding a single (or a few) step to confirm the steps have completed successfully would be better to manage status.

• look into what happens if a tag is added and pushed via the cli. tests should run, and an image should be built from source, but nothing else should be triggered
• manually adding a tag on a non-default branch should likewise only build the image
• required status checks should artifically pass if the change is a text only PR (i.e. update to the readme.md file only)

• wofkflow cleanup should aggressivly remove jobs that are triggered but nothing runs (i.e. a PR comment will trigger a workflow, but conditionals will prevent anything from executing)
