GH Actions or Travis CI pipeline implementation

[kjczarne]

We need to migrate our old GitLab CI pipeline to something supported in GitHub.

Note: we are already providing an acceptable way of accessing documentation, albeit a bit lousy and we should host the build docs soon.

But we need to consider publishing code coverage reports on top of that as a part of our quality assurance process.

Code Coverage

• https://about.codecov.io/

CI

• Just Works: GitHub Actions, unless you have specific needs, just go with this
• Fast: Circle CI
• Not Docker based (For Npcap or WinPcap to work): Azure Pipelines
• Multiple CPU Architectures (ARM): Travis

@kayoub5 Thanks for the tips! For CI we're currently leaning towards GH actions since this tool has no dependency on any network drivers or any particular devices. CodeCov looks like a nice option to publish coverage, thanks!

@kayoub5, I've requested access to codecov.io scoped to this project. A basic implementation of GitHub Actions pipeline is also ready. This project has a fairly simple test-and-deploy pipeline so I feel like GH Actions is sufficient at least at the moment.

That was fast! 😮 Thank you!

You're welcome.

Basic GH Actions pipeline implemented. Code coverage published with Codecov.io
