Fix: support subproject repos in info-yaml validation

[askb]

Problem

The info-yaml-verify workflow fails for repositories with subproject structure where the Gerrit project name includes a subpath (e.g. integration/distribution, releng/builder, releng/autorelease).

The INFO.yaml in these repos lists the parent project name (e.g. integration), but GERRIT_PROJECT passes the full path (e.g. integration/distribution). The strict equality check fails:

PROJECT_INPUT=integration/distribution
REPO_LIST=integration

ERROR: integration is invalid
INFO.yaml file may only list one repository
Repository must match integration/distribution

Fix

Add a prefix match alongside the exact match so that integration validates against integration/distribution:

if [[ "$project" == "$PROJECT_INPUT" || "$PROJECT_INPUT" == "$project/"* ]]; then

This handles:

• Standard repos: netconf == netconf ✅ (exact match)
• Subproject repos: integration prefix of integration/distribution ✅ (prefix match)

Affected Repositories

• integration/distribution — https://github.com/opendaylight/integration-distribution/actions/runs/23285321556
• releng/builder
• releng/autorelease

Testing

The fix was verified against the failing CI runs for integration/distribution.

Pull request overview

Updates the reusable GitHub Actions workflow that validates INFO.yaml for Gerrit-triggered changes, adding support for Gerrit project names that include subpaths (subproject repos) while INFO.yaml lists only the parent project.

Changes:

• Extend repository validation to accept either an exact match or a parent-prefix match (e.g., integration validating integration/distribution).
• Improve inline documentation around the repository validation logic.
