Add GitHub workflow to deploy InferenceSystem configmaps on push

[Copilot]

Merging a PR that modifies InferenceSystem/deploy/*-configmap.yaml files had no automated deployment path — changes required manual kubectl apply runs.

Changes

• New workflow .github/workflows/InferenceSystem-deploy-configmaps.yaml:
  • Triggers on push to main when any InferenceSystem/deploy/*-configmap.yaml file changes
  • Supports workflow_dispatch for manual runs (applies all configmaps)
  • Uses fetch-depth: 2 to correctly diff HEAD~1 on push events
  • Authenticates to the cluster via KUBE_CONFIG secret using azure/k8s-set-context
  • Applies only the changed files on push; all configmap files on manual dispatch
  • After applying each configmap, restarts the inference-system deployment in the matching namespace so pods pick up the updated configuration (namespace is derived from the filename, e.g. bush-point-configmap.yaml → namespace bush-point)

- name: Apply configmaps and restart deployments
  run: |
    for FILE in $CHANGED; do
      echo "Applying $FILE"
      kubectl apply -f "$FILE"
      NAMESPACE=$(basename "$FILE" -configmap.yaml)
      kubectl rollout restart deployment/inference-system -n "$NAMESPACE"
    done

Required secret

KUBE_CONFIG must be set in repository secrets with a kubeconfig granting access to the target cluster.

<issue_title>Create a github publish workflow for publishing config maps</issue_title>
<issue_description>When any ./InferenceSystem/deploy/*-configmap.yaml file is changed, then on push (i.e., when a PR is merged), a github workflow should deploy it to Azure by doing kubectl apply -f deploy/_filename_.yaml

For example, when #432 is merged, this should happen for the relevant files changed.

Create a new github workflow to do this, e.g., with filename .github/workflows/InferenceSystem-deploy-configmaps.yaml</issue_description>
