Consider other platforms to host Dillo #39

As discussed with @clehner, we may want to switch to a different platform that can also provide a CI system avoiding Copilot and their closed source nature.

Non exaustive list of problems with GitHub:

Hey there, thanks for reviving it, dillo is awesome !

Sourcehut has been cited in other places as well and will absolutely be a good place. Its focus on small, light web pages aligns with the ideas of Dillo. I'd love to see it there !

Nice list for GitLab: https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/List_of_Community-Hosted_GitLab_Instances

And it actually works in Dillo, I might add

Very large latency (~30s) observed in the Debian GitLab instance.

Sourcehut has a nice web interface that works from Dillo, but Drew has opposed the usage of CI infrastructure for closed-source operative systems, which is fine for other FOSS projects, but not for a browser that tries to be cross-platform.

The web interface also has other (fixable) problems based on my own experience, regarding attachments and replies to patches, but those are not so much a blocker.

Another problem with sourcehut is that self-hosting is not particularly easy, specially when multiple services are required. Right now in alpha the prices are okay, but I don't know how much they would increase them when the alpha ends.

I'm also reviewing other distributed options like Radicle and Fossil, but they also come with their own sets of drawbacks and benefits.
