ci: move px4_msgs sync from jenkins to github actions (#26061)

* ci: move px4_msgs sync from jenkins to github actions

I noticed it has not synced in a while, the last time was here:
https://github.com/PX4/px4_msgs/commit/49a0f6c52cf86948e46e5df8a7b61e33319c9ed2

The difference to before is that now also the release branches will be
synced instead of only 'main'.
