[EngSys] Modernize PR checks

[mikeharder]

Target Date: 8/1/2025

Remaining checks

Check	Owner	Status	Risk
ModelValidation	Mike	Monitor watcher, swap required check to GH	Low
SemanticValidation	Mike	Monitor watcher, swap required check to GH	Low
Swagger Lint (RPaas)	Daniel	Disable in openapi-alps	None
Breaking Changes	Ray	Testing	Medium
Breaking Changes (Cross-Version)	Ray	Testing	Medium
Summary	Scott	Testing	Medium

Goal

Improve reliability, performance, maintainability, portability (the ability to run locally), and "contribute-ability" of the checks run on PRs in this repo.

Expected outcomes

1. Code for all checks moves out of repo openapi-alps, and into repo azure-rest-api-specs or azure-sdk-tools.
2. All pipelines, jobs, etc. move out of DevDiv DevOps org and into GitHub Actions or the azure-sdk DevOps org.
3. Reduced complexity - Examples: minimize server resources, all tests can be run locally, clear/actionable error messages everywhere
