ci: workflow to automate the validation of Bicep parameter files

[Harsh-Microsoft]

Purpose

This pull request introduces a new GitHub Actions workflow to automate the validation of Bicep parameter files in the repository. The workflow runs on a schedule, on pull requests affecting infrastructure files, and can be triggered manually. It validates parameter mappings, summarizes the results, uploads artifacts, and sends email notifications based on the outcome.

The most important changes are:

CI/CD Automation:

• Added a new workflow file .github/workflows/validate-bicep-params.yml to automatically validate Bicep parameter files (.bicep and .parameters.json) in the infra/ directory on a schedule, on relevant pull requests, and via manual dispatch.

Validation and Reporting:

• Integrated a validation step using the validate_bicep_params.py script, which outputs results to both a summary and an artifact (infra_results.json).
• Uploaded validation results as a build artifact for further inspection, with a retention period of 30 days.

Notification System:

• Implemented conditional email notifications via Logic Apps to alert the team of scheduled validation failures or successes, including detailed output and run URLs.

Fail-fast Mechanism:

• The workflow is configured to fail the CI run if parameter validation errors are detected. (F68f3
