Description

Workflow: edit version number and rc number in template in dev/release/github.verify.yml, make PR, and do

• @github-actions crossbow submit -g verify-rc to run everything
• @github-actions crossbow submit -g verify-rc-wheel|source|binary to run those groups
• Other groups at verify-rc-wheel|source-macos|ubuntu|windows, verify-rc-source-cpp|csharp|java|etc.
• Individual workflows at e.g. verify-rc-wheel-windows, verify-rc-source-macos-csharp. We could break out the wheel verification by python version (maybe we should), but that requires changes to the verification scripts themselves.

Running the main verify-rc group will put a ton of workflow svg badges on the PR so we can see at a glance what is passing and failing. If things fail when running all, can push fixes to the verification script to the branch and retry just those that failed.
