CI: Make cudf-spark-jni build non-blocking

[vyasr]

Description

Mark the reusable cudf-spark-jni-build job with continue-on-error: true. This keeps cuDF Spark JNI failures visible while preventing them from failing the nightly workflow and, consequently, blocking check-nightly-ci.

Make continue-on-error caller-specific. The reusable JNI workflow applies it to both the PR caller and the nightly test.yaml caller. The nightly job has no separate failure condition or downstream result check, so a failed JNI build can make the nightly workflow/check succeed. Add a workflow_call input, pass it only from pr.yaml, and keep the nightly caller blocking.

Does this belong better in test.yaml?

Argh, has spark-rapids-jni-build borked again? I just took my eyes off it.

I saw that #23985 has broken the cudf-spark-jni build. We just fixed that in NVIDIA/cudf-spark-jni#5108.

Did anyone happen to see if it was broken before #23985?

I'd rather keep it where it is. We want the cudf-spark-jni shared workflow to be non-blocking regardless of where it's invoked from.

No, this change isn't related. This change is just meant to align the nightly workflow's requirement with PR requirements.
