ci: Build GCC test target with all releases in single job
GCC test target was built in matrix job, one job per toolchain release.
Each of those 8 jobs restored project artifact (1.26 GB, 30-170 s) and
own ccache for building two targets (30-95 s). With max-parallel 2 the
matrix took about 23 runner minutes and about 40 minutes of wall time.
Build all releases in single job instead. Project and ccache are
restored once and new gcc-target-build composite action installs each
release, builds targets with it and removes it afterwards. Builds for
remaining releases run even if one fails, so job reports all failing
releases. All releases share single ccache with bigger size limit,
entries are separated by CCACHE_COMPILERCHECK=content.
This also lowers number of concurrent jobs in workflow, which is
limited by ASF policy.
