fix(ci): add a "build-id" input var to ci builds

Currently, the github workflows dependencies are chained as follows:

build.yaml -> ci.yaml
release.yaml -> ci.yaml
convert.yaml -> ci.yaml

build.yaml and release.yaml are inline builds but operate on different
build triggers. convert.yaml is timer-based and works offline.
