Being able to do this potentially changes the entire approach to using this Action for a lot of flexibility. This is wild! Thank you 🌟

👋🏻 This PR adds a new multi-job example that shows how separate environments can be used to start/stop the branch-deploy process and perform the actual deployment.
The original need that resulted in this approach was being able to deploy to multiple Azure environments using Terraform. In particular, each environment was located on a separate tenant/subscription, hence the need for different credentials, Terraform workspaces, etc. Originally, I tried writing this to use only a
secretsenvironment as mentioned in the README, but the workflow ended up with a lot of additional fluff to simply choose the right secrets/variables. I left in a fair bit of detail, so please feel free to remove anything that might be extraneous.Also: Prettier automatically formatted some of the other examples. I did confirm that nothing was changed functionally.
I'd be happy to hear any feedback!
