Dispatch github ci jobs after running update-vrt workflow (#5586)

* Enhance CI workflows to support repository dispatch events and improve branch handling

- Added support for `repository_dispatch` events in build, check, and codeql workflows.
- Updated concurrency group to include `client_payload.pr_number` for better context.
- Modified checkout steps to reference the correct branch from `client_payload` if available.

* Add release notes for PR #5586
