Refactor run-integration-tests workflow into reusable workflows to allow fine tuning which runners to use for which job depending on architecture. Experiments showed that building on default runner but using larger runner (4cores) for running integration tests on arm64 achieves best time/cost results. I.e. using larger runners to build on arm64 cuts the workflow runtime from about 30 minutes to about 20 minutes and therefore does not seem necessary. However, using larger runners to run test on arm64 is necessary not as much for time savings but for performance - without larger runners, tests run too slow and more spans are captured which causes actual results not to match test expectations.
