PowerShell works (after a steep development curve), but one property of
it stuck and kept causing unresolvable usability issues: With
`$ErrorActionPreference=Stop`, it does abort on failures, but shows only
the first line of the error message. In `Continue` mode, it shows the
full error message, but doesn't stop on all errors. Another issue is
PowerShell considering any stderr output as if the command failed (this
has been improved in 7.2 (2021-Nov), but fixed versions aren't running
in CI and will not be for a long time in all test images.)
Thus, we're going with bash.
Also:
- use `-j2` with autotools tests, making them finish 5-15 minutes per
job faster.
- omit `POSIX_PATH_PREFIX`.
- use `WINDIR`.
- prefer forward slashes.

When a commit only contains tests, documentation, or cmake files, skip
those builds that aren't affected by those.
The file filters available on the CI services don't seem to allow
skipping individual jobs, only the entire workflow, so we can't get any
more fine-grained than this.
Also skip builds on non-Windows platforms when only Windows build files
have changed.
This should reduce the number of useless builds and the associated
waiting time and chance of spurious failures, freeing resources for
new PRs.

- they are mostly pointless in all major jurisdictions
- many big corporations and projects already don't use them
- saves us from pointless churn
- git keeps history for us
- the year range is kept in COPYING
checksrc is updated to allow non-year using copyright statements
Closes#10205
Set top-level permissions to None on all workflows, setting per-job
permissions. This avoids that new jobs inherit unwanted permissions.

Closes#9928
Avoid letting outdated CI runs continue if a PR receives
new changes. Outside a PR we let them continue running
by tying the concurrency to the commit hash instead.
Also only let one CodeQL or Hacktoberfest job run at a time.
Other CI platforms we use have this build in, but GitHub
unfortunately neither by default nor with a simple option.
This saves CI resources and therefore a little energy.

Closes#9533
Add licensing and copyright information for all files in this repository. This
either happens in the file itself as a comment header or in the file
`.reuse/dep5`.
This commit also adds a Github workflow to check pull requests and adapts
copyright.pl to the changes.
Closes#8869
- bump actions/checkout from 2 to 3
- bump actions/upload-artifact from 1 to 3
- bump github/codeql-actions from 1 to 2
- use version tag for actions/checkout
Closes#8843
Align CodeQL action with existing CI actions:
- Update branch filter to avoid duplicate CI runs.
- Shorten workflow name due to informative job name.
