Description

Currently, we reuse the nightly pipeline to build the "PyFlink wheel packages" during release. There are some drawbacks as following:

• As there are many stages in the nightly pipeline and so it takes quite a long time to build the "PyFlink wheel packages" as there is no much resource available in the personal azure account. It takes me about 5 to 6 hours to build the "PyFlink wheel packages" during preparing the RC1 of 1.12.0.
• It's wired that there are so many errors [1] for the stages and it confuses release managers who are not familiar with process.
