Switch to GitHub Actions

[ruudk]

This makes it easier to add newer PHP versions like PHP 8.1 and 8.2 (dev).

I'm not familiar with GitHub Actions. Could you elaborate a bit what would be the benefits and the required amount of work ?

[ruudk]

Create a file in this repository called .github/workflows/build-and-test.yml and copy the contents of this example:
https://github.com/php-memcached-dev/php-memcached/blob/master/.github/workflows/build-and-test.yml

Then modify it according to your needs, like Travis.

Commit it to main, and GitHub will automatically run it :)

Then drop Travis

@NoiseByNorthwest I've created github actions build workflow. Could you please take a look. What do you think about moving from Travis to GA? Also I can add Release publishing action, nightly builds for newest php version, etc...

[NoiseByNorthwest]

@AlexNDRmac Thanks, it looks good ! I'm ok to move to GA, but could you also remove the Travis file and update the build status badge in the README ?

Also I can add Release publishing action, nightly builds for newest php version, etc..

I prefer that we discuss this in another issue so that this one will only cover the Travis -> GA migration.

@NoiseByNorthwest I'd like to add more features (automation features) with GA and then open PR.
What I mean:

• Cross-platform builds (now extension builds on mac/linux... but I'm sure it's not a big problem to add win support)
• Releases action (You will able to push tag and then Release will be published auto magically... with all compiled ext for all OS and arch and release notes from the changelog)
• Nightly builds with new PHP version to check what needs to be fixed or resolved
• Code Coverage for C code (it should be and I think I can help with it)
• Valgrind checks for memory leaks
• Optionally - some performance tests (it would be great...)

So, I'll prepare part of these features and will send PR.

[NoiseByNorthwest]

I'm OK with all of these points, and the win support would be a great enhancement !
