Soooo.... to try to help reduce that breakage and noise, I've setup locally a
pseudo GitHub Actions CI Emulation implementation using `act` and Docker. It is
described in ./test/GitHub-CI-Emu.md. The goal was to be able to test patches
not only locally, on one's development machine, but also emulate the GitHub CI
system as well, to see if things would pass there.
Currently, it's just Linux but there's room for improvement. No real scripts
have been added, but the docs contain them for copy/paste purposes. We can
discuss/debate if creating some subdirectory under ./test specifically for that
purpose (hold the docs and the scripts) makes sense.
