chore(mirror): remove force_workspace reusable + smoke (R4 mothballed)

[andamasov]

R4 force_workspace is obsolete. The Rollout 4 canary proved Mergify's ignore_conflicts: true config already creates the backport workspace PR, resolves toward theirs, and applies backport-conflict for path-drift conflicts (deleted-by-us verified on VyOS-Networks/ipaddrcheck#27). The reusable's No backport have been created trigger never fires under that config.

Removes the reusable + its smoke test. Source wrappers already removed across all 13 consumers; consumers.yaml schema removal follows. Pure deletion; Phase 0 clean; adversarial skip-eligible. T8943 / IS-510.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • Removed internal backport automation workflow
  • Removed parser smoke test automation workflow

Walkthrough

Deleted two GitHub Actions workflows: force-workspace-backport.yml (reusable backport logic handling token minting, SHA/branch parsing, Mergify validation, cherry-pick conflict resolution, PR label creation, and audit trail generation) and force-workspace-parser-smoke.yml (cron-scheduled regex-based parser validation of commit SHA and target branch extraction).

Summary

Workflow file removals .github/workflows/force-workspace-backport.yml, .github/workflows/force-workspace-parser-smoke.yml

Deleted force-workspace-backport.yml (393 lines): removed reusable workflow orchestrating App token minting, Mergify comment parsing, target branch validation against consumers.yaml, idempotency checks, deterministic cherry-pick conflict resolution, PR label creation, and JSON audit-trail PR generation. Deleted force-workspace-parser-smoke.yml (114 lines): removed scheduled and manual smoke job using bullfrogsec/bullfrog@v0.8.4 that validated regex-based extraction of 40-hex SHA and branch from fixture failure text.
