Description

detected at https://github.com/checkstyle/contribution/pull/878#issuecomment-2229202963

We have files that are not used by any of our jobs or diff reports, examples :

- https://github.com/checkstyle/contribution/blob/master/checkstyle-tester/github-action-projects1.properties
- https://github.com/checkstyle/contribution/blob/master/checkstyle-tester/github-action-projects2.properties
- https://github.com/checkstyle/contribution/blob/master/checkstyle-tester/latest-projects-to-test-on.properties

Having a lot of project files that are not used may be confusing. We should remove them, otherwise, we will document why we need the files.

Research direction

Start by checking references to the three named files—github-action-projects1.properties, github-action-projects2.properties, and latest-projects-to-test-on.properties—in the jobs and diff reports. Done means removing files confirmed to be unused, or documenting why any referenced file is still needed.
