infra - Add more zuul triggers for daily build
While working with partners on proof-of-concept installations, we sometimes need quick turn-around on an extra daily build to post the latest software. Currently, daily pipeline is timer triggered. We could add a gerrit trigger so that a certain string comment on *merged* change triggers the daily pipeline.

Whiteboard
Zuul is not matching MERGED status properly. https:/
I have submitted a fix up-stream for this. Waiting on openstack-infra team to review.
Fix has been merged upstream, and is in our version of Zuul. So this is no longer blocked.
Verified that we can trigger a build based on comment of change already merged.
To do this, we need to define a new pipeline (say "extra") that has same jobs as daily, but has a require statement (status: MERGED) and a gerrit trigger to trigger on a comment.
This is less than ideal, because the comment must be added after the change is merged. The build will not actually build that particular commit, but will build latest master branch.
Cannot trigger on the merge of a change with earlier comment, because the comment filter is only looking at the current event. A possible (but probably confusing for users) way to implement this is
to use a gerrit approval category rather than a comment. See https:/
All the solutions have downsides, so we're dropping priority of this for now, and just document how to do build-on-demand manually.
