Set up build, CI/CD on GitHub for SCXA with GitHub Actions

[ke4]

Set up CI/CD pipeline for SCXA using GitHub Actions.

• https://docs.github.com/en/actions/learn-github-actions/understanding-github-actions
• https://github.blog/2019-08-08-github-actions-now-supports-ci-cd/

Check :

• [ ] is GitHub rate limiting would effect our usage (https://docs.github.com/en/apps/creating-github-apps/creating-github-apps/rate-limits-for-github-apps)?
• [x] do we have to pay for Github Actions after a certain number of usage?

If the check results are both fine, then implement the following:

• [ ] build SCXA
• [ ] trigger email after a successful/unsuccessful build
• [ ] run tests (not sure about WIT tests?? - need to confirm/research)
• [ ] trigger email with the test results
• [ ] deploy to a specific env after successful build & tests

On this page or pricing I found this:

About billing for GitHub Actions GitHub Actions usage is free for standard GitHub-hosted runners in public repositories, and for self-hosted runners. For private repositories, each GitHub account receives a certain amount of free minutes and storage for use with GitHub-hosted runners, depending on the product used with the account. Any usage beyond the included amounts is controlled by spending limits.

So, according to this we are good to go as we have SCXA in a public repo.
