This PR adds the following sync tests to CI workflow - triggered when a PR is labeled `syncing` - to ensure we have some e2e coverage on basic sync scenarios:
- [x] checkpoint sync to a live network (covers range and backfill sync for _current_ fork)
- [x] checkpoint sync to a running devnet (covers range and backfill sync for _next_ fork)
It seems to work fine running on github hosted runners - but if performance become an issue we could switch to using self hosted runners for sepolia sync test. (standard CPU runners have 4 CPU, 16 GB ram - i think it _should_ be enough on sepolia / devnet networks)
The following tests have been **removed** from this PR and moved to a separate issue *(#7550)
- [x] genesis sync on a local devnet (covers current and next fork)
- [x] brief shutdown and restart (covers lookup sync)
- [x] longer shutdown and restart (covers range sync)
I'm hoping to keep these e2e test maintenance effort to a minimum - hopefully longer term we could have some generic e2e tests that works for all clients and the maintenance effort can be spread across teams.

* Add mergify.yml.
* Abstract out CI jobs to a "success" job so that a change in the CI jobs don't require modification to mergify configuration on stable branch.
* Add new jobs to the `needs` list of `test-suite-success`.
* Set `batch_max_wait_time` to 60 s.

## Proposed Changes
We set a `$TAG` env variable in the github actions workflow, and then re-use this name in the `publish.sh` script. It makes this check `if [[ -z "$TAG" ]]` return true, when it should return false on the first time it's hit.

## Issue Addressed
Related to: #2259
Made an attempt at all the necessary updates here to publish the crates to crates.io. I incremented the minor versions on all the crates that have been previously published. We still might run into some issues as we try to publish because I'm not able to test this out but I think it's a good starting point.
## Proposed Changes
- Add description and license to `ssz_types` and `serde_util`
- rename `serde_util` to `eth2_serde_util`
- increment minor versions
- remove path dependencies
- remove patch dependencies
## Additional Info
Crates published:
- [x] `tree_hash` -- need to publish `tree_hash_derive` and `eth2_hashing` first
- [x] `eth2_ssz_types` -- need to publish `eth2_serde_util` first
- [x] `tree_hash_derive`
- [x] `eth2_ssz`
- [x] `eth2_ssz_derive`
- [x] `eth2_serde_util`
- [x] `eth2_hashing`
