feat: Enhance email template, add RG owner tag, scalability input

[Vamshi-Microsoft]

Purpose

This pull request introduces several improvements and new features to the GitHub Actions workflows for Azure deployment, with a focus on enhanced resource group tagging, support for scalability options in WAF deployments, and clearer input descriptions across workflows. The changes ensure better traceability of deployments, allow opt-in scalability features for WAF, and improve the overall clarity and consistency of workflow parameters.

Resource Group Tagging and Management:

• All deployment workflows now automatically tag Azure resource groups with the GitHub actor as the owner, both on creation and when updating existing groups. This improves traceability and resource ownership management. [1] [2] [3]

WAF Scalability Feature:

• Added new input parameters (enable_scalability / ENABLE_SCALABILITY) to allow opt-in enabling of scalability features specifically for WAF deployments. This is validated and passed through the workflows, and the ARM template parameter is set accordingly. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13]

Input and Parameter Description Improvements:

• Updated and clarified input descriptions for various parameters (e.g., azure_location, waf_enabled, EXP, build_docker_image, cleanup_resources, resource IDs, and web app URLs) to make their purpose and usage clearer and more consistent across workflows. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]

Validation Enhancements:

• Improved validation logic for new and existing boolean parameters, especially for the new scalability feature, to ensure only valid values are accepted and errors are surfaced early in the workflow. [1] [2] [3]

Workflow Consistency:

• Synchronized parameter naming, default values, and types across all deployment workflows, ensuring a consistent developer experience regardless of the specific workflow used. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Pull request overview

This PR refines the GitHub Actions deployment workflows: it tags resource groups with the triggering GitHub actor as Owner, adds an opt-in enable_scalability input that flips the enableScalability Bicep parameter on WAF deployments, clarifies several input descriptions, and replaces the plain-text Logic App email bodies with a richer HTML template (with light HTML escaping of user-controlled fields).

Changes:

• Add Owner tagging on resource group create/update across deploy.yml, deploy-waf.yml, and job-deploy.yml.
• Introduce enable_scalability / ENABLE_SCALABILITY input plumbed through deploy-v2.yml, deploy-orchestrator.yml, job-deploy.yml, and applied via jq in job-deploy-linux.yml/job-deploy-windows.yml.
• Rework job-send-notification.yml to send a styled HTML email template with status "pills" and a shared (per-step) html_escape helper, plus tidied input labels in workflow descriptions.
