CI: switch to Github Actions?

[liamsi]

Github Actions is an alternative to circleci. It looks worth exploring! Things like code coverage and uploading to codecov.io looks much simpler for instance (it's a bit like circleci's orbs but integrated into github; also the snippets are hosted here on this platform)

Discussion started here:
#134 (comment)

@ebuchman @xla what you are thoughts on this? If people are up for the change, I'd love to make a contribution to the project.

I’ve moved most of my projects over. The UX is much better, and actions-rs is great

@marbar3778 at least I don't see a reason not to open a PR. I think it will also clarify a few things (e.g. performance, configurability) and make the discussion less abstract. If you are OK with a low probability that we might still stick with circle in the near future.

@marbar3778 make sure to check out https://github.com/actions-rs if you haven't already seen it

I have a branch here: tac0turtle#1 just need to figure out the codecov part but everything else looks good. Once its fixed ill open the PR against this repo

[liamsi]

Awesome! The codecov part looks seemingly easy with this: https://github.com/marketplace/actions/rust-grcov
although, as always the devil is (or might be) in the details: actions-rs/grcov#3
The good thing about GA is that one can read through the code and understand what is going on in the background (in this case TypeScript)

[tarcieri]

grcov + codecov works fine

Awesome work Marko, thanks!
