[Due for payment 2025-02-19] Extract validateActor job to separate file

[jnowakow]

Job validateActor is used in many workflows (deploy.yml, testBuild.yml etc...). It's duplicated in all those workflows. We can extract it to .github/actions/composite for better readability and maintenance of CI.

Lets check in with @roryabraham. He's refactoring some workflows, let's just make sure there's no overlap here.

I'm fine with this change, good suggestion 👍🏼

Then again, it looks like the validation we're doing is not always the same. There are several different behaviors:

• that the actor is a deployer
• that the actor has write access
• that the actor is an Expensify employee (since all Expensify employees have write access, and nobody who's not an employee has write access, this is redundant with the previous step

So really only two
