gci: Consider adding a nightly CI workflow for reprobuilds #7117

Description

@cdecker

It would be very helpful to have a nightly workflow in our
actions. This could be run over night (well, someone's night),
ensuring that the reprobuilds always work. In addition it alleviates
the problem release captains face during every release:

  1. The developer tags the release
  2. Then uploads the tag
  3. Builds the reprobuild, but during the build something got changed
  4. The version string now is something like v24.02-modded due to
    the dirty tree.

The CI could tell us ahead of time if a given reprobuild would result
in such a broken version string, and we would be able to always
cross-check the reprobuilds, avoiding accidental back and forth during
the release.
