Arguably, CI builds' most important task is to not only identify
regressions, but to make it as easy as possible to investigate what went
wrong.
In that light, we will want to provide users with a way to inspect the
tests' output as well as the corresponding directories.
This commit adds build steps that are only executed when tests failed,
uploading the relevant information as build artifacts. These artifacts
can then be downloaded by interested parties to diagnose the failures
more efficiently.

This patch adds CI builds via GitHub Actions. While the underlying
technology is at least _very_ similar to that of Azure Pipelines, GitHub
Actions are much easier to set up than Azure Pipelines:
- no need to install a GitHub App,
- no need to set up an Azure DevOps account,
- all you need to do is push to your fork on GitHub.
Therefore, it makes a lot of sense for us to have a working GitHub
Actions setup.
While copy/editing `azure-pipelines.yml` into
`.github/workflows/main.yml`, we also use the opportunity to accelerate
the step that sets up a minimal subset of Git for Windows' SDK in the
Windows-build job:
- we now download a `.tar.xz` stored in Azure Blobs and extract it
simultaneously by calling `curl` and piping the result to `tar`,
- decompressing via `xz`,
- all three utilities are installed together with Git for Windows
At the same time, we also make use of the matrix build feature, which
reduces the amount of repeated text by quite a bit.
Also, we do away with the parts that try to mount a file share on which
`prove` can store data between runs. It is just too complicated to set
up, and most times the tree changes anyway, so there is little return on
investment there.
