[build] prefix workflow names by how they run so the Actions sidebar groups them

[titusfortner]

💥 What does this PR do?

• Prefixes every workflow's display name by how it runs to make it easier to read the list on the Actions website
  • Pins are still used to put the most used workflows at the top
  • File names remain unchanged

New name	Old name	File
Bot - Delete Comments	Delete Comments	delete-comments.yml
Bot - Issue Labeler	Issue Form Labeler	issue-labeler.yml
Bot - Label Commenter	Label Commenter	label-commenter.yml
Bot - PR Labeler	Label pull requests based on file paths	pr-labeler.yml
Bot - Prune CodeQL Caches	Prune CodeQL caches	prune-caches.yml

CI, CI - Lint, CI - RBE, and the per-language CI - * workflows are unchanged.

🔧 Implementation Notes

• Renames the release pair to Release - Start and Release - Finish, and gives the scheduled jobs verb names that match the commits they produce (Scheduled - Update Browsers, Scheduled - Update CDDL, ...).
• Nightly and SM Snapshot are under Release because they publish artifacts; the trigger is incidental.
• The workflow_run filters in merge-release-pr.yml reference CI and CI - RBE, both unchanged.
• The dependency dashboard header in renovate.json named the old Renovate workflow, so that string is updated too.

High-Level Assessment

The role-based prefix convention is appropriate because GitHub groups workflow entries alphabetically by display name while workflow filenames and execution behavior remain stable. Renaming files or restructuring workflows would add unnecessary reference churn and operational risk.
