Run same set of checks against release branches as are against main

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Currently in the case of some repos we run some checks against main but not against release branches.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
Run the same set of checks for main as for release branches.
Steps would be to
- check each repo for checks that run against main.
- if they are not also running for release branches add the config for that under the appropriate config file under `.github/workflows/`
- In some cases the release branch prefix is `release-v*` but please verify for each specific repo that that is the case.

Inspect each repository's workflow files under `.github/workflows/` and compare which checks target `main` with those targeting release branches. Verify the release branch prefix separately for each repository before updating the appropriate workflow configuration. Done means every check currently run against `main` is also configured for the relevant release branches.
