There is a github action configuration in qtbase, which is,
however, hardly maintained. In its current form it is broken.
This patch repairs it.

+ Add Ubuntu-20.04 Github Actions runner
+ Use as many system libraries as possible on all
platforms except Windows
+ Checkout the git repository into a directory named "source",
so that it's possible to checkout more repositories in the future
+ Configure with install prefix set to a temporary path,
it will be used for uploading binary artifacts in the future
+ Configure with -pkg-config instead of -feature-pkg-config;
this was the traditional way and it works for cmake now
+ Split long lines using double quotes instead of backslashes,
makes the yaml file more readable and does not leak
backslashes into the command line
+ Adjust cache to work in multiple branches, provided that the
environment variables at the top of the file are set correctly
+ Do not let homebrew waste time cleaning up
+ Print logfiles in case of failure
+ Typos and other minor fixes.

ccache 4.0 is crashing consistently. Fix is merged upstream, but it's
not released yet:

+ Specify the ccache cache directory to avoid the defaults, because
ccache >= 4.0 puts the cache directory in system-dependent paths
+ Adjust sloppiness to increase cache hit ratio
+ print compression stats but don't err if `-x` flag is missing
(only available only on ccache >= 4.0)
+ Print ccache config for debugging purposes
+ Enable ccache compression and limit size
Regarding the last point, ccache < v4.0 optionally compresses using the
zlib algorithm, but ccache >= v4.0 uses zstd and compression is enabled
by default. By forcing compression to true, all platforms will need
similar size cache. We have to limit it because the default (5GB) fills
up the cache artifacts size that Github Actions offers.

The following options now work:
-ccache
-nomake examples
-nomake tests
-no-pch
Furthermore -no-optimize-debug is not used in the CMake build,
all -debug builds are without optimizations.

+ runner.os is for example "macOS"
+ matrix.os would be "macos-10.15"
This way we don't mix the CCache artifacts between different versions of the
same OS.

Has minimal configuration in order to achieve fastest build times.
CCache is on, and PCH is off as it significantly reduces the Ccache hit ratio.
This Github Workflow has been measured to take around
+ 30min without any Ccache hits and 8min for a rebuild, on Linux
+ 20min without any Ccache hits and 4min for a rebuild, on macOS
+ 1h without any Ccache hits and 20min for a rebuild, on Windows
The goal is to use such Cloud building and testing systems as "smoke runs",
providing quick feedback, much sooner than the canonical approval from
Coin. Additionally having many independent systems helps verify "flakiness"
issues. Another big advantage of such systems is their hackability, allowing
someone to tweak the build parameters by just editing a couple of YAML lines.
