Wolfgang Walther 63301f9889 .github/workflows: set timeouts
None of our jobs is expected to run for 6 hours, the GitHub limit. These
limits are generous and take into accounts that some jobs need to wait
for others.

If jobs exceed these times, most likely something else is wrong and
needs investigation.

# Some workflows depend on the base branch of the PR, but changing the base branch is not included in the default trigger events, which would be `opened`, `synchronize` or `reopened`.
# Instead it causes an `edited` event.
# Since `edited` is also triggered when PR title/body is changed, we use this wrapper workflow, to run the other workflows conditionally only.
# There are already feature requests for adding a `base_changed` event:
# - https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/35058
# - https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/64119
#
# Instead of adding this to each workflow's pull_request_target event, we trigger this in a separate workflow.
# This has the advantage, that we can actually skip running those jobs for simple edits like changing the title or description.
# The actual trigger happens by closing and re-opening the pull request, which triggers the default pull_request_target events.
# This is much simpler and reliable than other approaches.
