Move 'check-cherry-picks' test to gate, n-v check

This currently runs in the 'check' pipeline, as part of the pep8 job,
which causes otherwise perfectly valid backports to report as failing
CI. There's no reason a stable core shouldn't be encouraged to review
these patches: we simply want to prevent them *merging* before their
parent(s). Resolve this conflict by moving the check to separate voting
job in the 'gate' pipeline as well as a non-voting job in the 'check'
pipeline to catch more obvious issues.

NOTE(lyarwood): Conflict as I672904e9bfb45a66a82331063c7d49c4bc0439df
isn't present on stable/victoria.
