Description

During experiments, we noticed that the GHA UI isn't capable of utilizing a random count of compositions of workflows. If we get into the 3rd level of composite workflow, the job name will be cut off in the left menu which makes navigating the jobs harder (because you have duplicate of the same job, e.g. Compile, belonging to different job profiles).

As a workaround, we came up with Flink CI workflow profiles to configure the CI template yaml that is used in every job. A profile configuration can be specified through a JSON file that lives in the .github/workflow folder.
