Add support for OSSF scorecard reporting
Main Changes
This pipeline will proactively report the status of the project (every day and when a push is done to master branch) including critical fields (CI-Tests, Contributors, Dependency-Update-Tool, Webhooks) that are missing while running via OSSF cron jobs.

Changes related
It's also possible that some repositories in your organization are already being automatically tracked by OpenSSF in this CSV file via weekly cronjob. One caveat: Automatically tracked projects do not include https://github.com/ossf/scorecard/issues/3438 in their analysis (CI-Tests,Contributors,Dependency-Update-Tool,Webhooks).

Changelog c33f053aa26936cdcfc287d76748acf8da6bf9b6 chore: add scorecard pipeline by @carpasse
The CI is failing due https://github.com/jshttp/http-errors/issues/108, and it is not related to this PR as the change does not affect the source code or the existing GA pipelines.
I will merge this PR on next Monday, unless there are concerns.
Not worth blocking on, but is there a reason to use this ad hoc workflow vs the official ossf github action? Does this workflow do different things than the action or is otherwise preferred over the versioned and maintained action?

We use the same one (official one), for reference: https://github.com/expressjs/discussions/issues/185#issuecomment-1999178221
