End-to-end tests for workflow_dispatch

[laurentsimon]

We need to trigger a "manual" workflow_dispatch event using this API https://docs.github.com/en/rest/reference/actions#create-a-workflow-dispatch-event

1. Workflow dispatch for golang branch https://github.com/ossf-tests/scorecard-action/blob/90f8df25accc87559287ef3d4ad8e6f151c9f1df/.github/workflows/workflowdispatch-golang.yml#L1
2. Workflow dispatch for main branch https://github.com/ossf-tests/scorecard-action/blob/90f8df25accc87559287ef3d4ad8e6f151c9f1df/.github/workflows/workflowdispatch.yml#L1

Questions:

1. Should https://github.com/ossf-tests/scorecard-action/blob/main/.github/workflows/scorecards-golang.yml have the workflow_dispatch?
2. Should https://github.com/ossf-tests/scorecard-action/blob/90f8df25accc87559287ef3d4ad8e6f151c9f1df/.github/workflows/workflowdispatch-golang.yml#L1 be changed to a different branch? We want to test that the brain scorecard runs on is not the default one, right? Actually, I think we need 1) the workflow you have (workflow defined on different branch and using its own branch to run scorecard ), 2) a workflow defined in default branch running scorecard on non-main branch, 3) (maybe?) a workflow defined on non-main branch running scorecard at main branch
3. https://github.com/ossf-tests/scorecard-action/blob/90f8df25accc87559287ef3d4ad8e6f151c9f1df/.github/workflows/workflowdispatch-golang.yml#L36 does not need to workflow_dispatch, I think. At a schedule or push event, we trigger a workflow_dispatch to start https://github.com/ossf-tests/scorecard-action/blob/main/.github/workflows/scorecards-golang.yml.
   Please let me know if I mis-understand something. As it's setup, I'm under the impression the workflow_dispatch call will fail since the callee workflow does not have workflow_dispatch event defined.

@naveensrinivasan let me know if you have some update on this one. I've updated the doc in #203, saying that workflow_dispatch is experimental for now.

Can we sync up to go over this?

workflow_dispatch e2e tests now setup and working. Closing this.
