nightly-builds stop running after 60 days with no activity

[jmunroe]

Of the cookbooks with nightly-build: success , 10 of them having actually been rebuilt in over a month because GH disables the automation when there is no activity in the repository:

This scheduled workflow is disabled because there hasn't been activity in this repository for at least 60 days. Enable this workflow to resume scheduled runs.

One solution is just to manually click 'Enable workflow' on each of the cookbook nightly-build actions but that will cause the issue to resurface in 60 days again.

It looks like this problem has be solved by others:

• Prevent scheduled GitHub Actions from becoming disabled - Stack Overflow)

although that's a four year old Stack Overflow thread so there be a newer or more recommended method.

Excellent!

Over the past few years I (and others) have periodically gone through and manually re-enabled the workflows, but an automated solution would obviously be preferable.
