cache-cleanup.yml

# This workflow cleans up any cache entries associated with a pull request once it has been closed.
# This prevents us from having many refs/pull/PR_NUMBER/merge cache entries which will never be used.
#
# Note that this will affect both PRs being closed with and without being merged.
