Given that Spread is being used in multiple GitHub repositories to assist with the testing of software, this PR introduces a custom composite GitHub action to simplify and streamline the installation and configuration of the Spread binary on the GitHub runners.
What's included:
a new action.yml file where the composite GH action is defined. It accepts the Spread repo branch/tag/sha to be checked out (default is master). It also outputs the final path of the spread binary on the GH runner.
an additional step to the existing test workflow, to make sure the new action behaves well
an update to the README.md file to document this new GitHub action
