Description

It seemed like the linting workflow might have been possible to ignore the required check, but that was not the case.

New attempt is to allow maintainers to activate the linting workflow via workflow_dispatch trigger. This can be accessed via the Actions tab with a dropdown on the workflow to select what branch to run it on.

Without this a different event must occur to trigger the workflow, which is inconvenient for automated PRs.
