[CI-3043] Switch to actions/create-jira-deployment

CI-3043

Description

The CI team is currently working on replacing the external-proxy with Google Identity Aware Proxy (IAP). More info here.

IAP is a Google service that allows control access to web applications running on GCP. It provides a security layer for applications by ensuring that only authenticated and authorized users/service accounts can access them. To programmatically access a resource protected by the IAP, we need to generate a JWT token and pass it alongside the request to authenticate before accessing the protected resource.

Currently, we use the jenkins-job-trigger-action to trigger Jenkins jobs from a GH workflow. Since this is a public action repo and to not expose our internal infrastructure implementation, we created the new private action (trigger-jenkins-job) to implement the IAP necessary steps for authentication and authorization. This new action requires some new inputs (secrets) used in the action’s steps to generate the authentication token.

The IAP is already enabled for our Jenkins servers in alternative URLs during the migration, that’s why we use the input jenkins_url as a secret. Its main role is to make it easier and transparent when we turn the key to enable IAP in the production’s Jenkins URLs.

In this PR, we switch to the actions/create-jira-deployment action, which uses the new trigger-jenkins-job action that implements the underlying steps to authenticate with IAP when triggering a Jenkins job from a GitHub workflow.
