build: try to speed up Github workflows

[ktmud]

SUMMARY

CI has been slow recently. This PR is the latest effort in trying to mitigate:

1. Update the Cancel Previous Run job added in build: cancel previous github action runs #11940 to cancel future jobs as well.

2. Skip dependabot branches when possible (e.g. don't run Python jobs for npm updates).

3. Merge lighter actions (Prefer Typescript and License Check) into one workflow.

4. Add a script to allow committers to manually cancel CI jobs in queue. This is useful on a busy day when the CI pipeline got clogged by continuous new commits to open PRs. Users have to configure GITHUB_TOKEN in their env variables in order to use this.

   (superset) ➜  incubator-superset git:(manage-github-workflow) ✗ ./scripts/cancel_github_workflows.py --help 
   Usage: cancel_github_workflows.py [OPTIONS] BRANCH_OR_PULL
   
     Cancel running or queued GitHub workflows by branch or pull request ID.
   
     By default jobs that are already running or are the latest of the branch
     or PR will not be cancelled.
   
   Options:
     --repo TEXT                     Default is apache/incubator-superset
     --event [pull_request|push|issue]
     --include-last / --no-include-last
                                     Whether to also cancel the lastest run.
     --include-running / --no-include-running
                                     Whether to also cancel running workflows
     --help                          Show this message and exit.

who can run this scripts and what branches can be cancelled?
Thanks @ktmud

[ktmud]

Only committers who have write access to this repo can cancel, but anyone can run this script to cancel actions on their own forks.

[ktmud]

This PR now also adopts another action library to cancel previous (AND future) scheduled runs. Previously we didn't see #11940 do much probably because it only cancel previous runs, but for the cancellation script to run, the future scheduled job needs to start, but however they are blocked in the queue by previous runs...
