[Enhancement] Publish minimum snapshot builds to artifacts.opensearch.org

[cwperks]

OpenSearch has SNAPSHOT minimum distributions that are published to artifacts.opensearch.org which many plugin teams rely on to run CI without having to checkout the OpenSearch repo and creating a local distribution with gradle. The minimum distribution has no plugins installed and all of the src code is already compiled into jars which saves plugins from having to explicitly perform those steps in CI checks.

Example from security repo: https://github.com/opensearch-project/security/blob/main/.github/actions/start-opensearch-with-one-plugin/action.yml#L31-L43

There currently are no SNAPSHOT minimum distributions of OpenSearch-Dashboards for dashboards-plugins teams to take advantage of. As a result many dashboards plugins end up checking out this repo and running yarn osd bootstrap which takes up multiple GBs of space on Github runners that already typically have <14GB of space.

Examples:

• security-dashboards-plugin
• dashboards-reporting
• dashboards-observability

Can OpenSearch-Dashboards publish pre-built minified SNAPSHOTs to prevent dashboards-plugins from having to checkout the repo and running yarn osd bootstrap for every CI check?
