Currently Ubuntu nightly packaging runs on a daily basis. This is wasteful and brittle since github automatically stops such workflows after 60 days. This PR fixes the issue by using the github workflow dispatch mechanism.
A SECRET with the name PACKAGING_REPO_ACCESS_TOKEN needs to be installed on the gtsam repo. This will authorize the gtsam repo to trigger a workflow in the gtsam-packaging repo.
Once/if this PR is approved please contact me to get the value (shared secret) of the PACKAGING_REPO_ACCESS_TOKEN.
