Specify concurrency groups for non-generated workflows so we can cancel in-progress runs when new commits are pushed to a PR.

Pull request overview
This PR adds workflow-level concurrency settings to several non-generated GitHub Actions workflows so that, for pull request-triggered runs, older in-progress runs are automatically cancelled when new commits are pushed.
Changes:
- Added
concurrency.groupto deduplicate workflow runs per ref. - Enabled
cancel-in-progressonly forpull_requestevents (leaving push/schedule/manual runs non-cancelling). - Applied the same concurrency pattern consistently across the targeted non-generated workflows.
