What was changed?

• New thread API for custom stack size. New CMake flag to specify default stack size if no size is passed in. Changes are made to be backwards compatible.
• Enhanced CI. Updated runner images, refactor for easier maintainability, speed it up.
  • New CMake flag combination action with report generation.
• Code style report (apply linter) & auto-generation of patch files.
• Fix a build issue (Correct missing defined in include file #265)

What testing was done for the changes?

• CI was revamped. The new CI is passing.
• Canary for WebRTC-C updated to use this branch & no build issues or performance degradation.

Additional manual tests from producer-c using this dependency:

1. Build producer-c with this branch, copied the test over and check that the new thread API is reachable.

./tst/producer_test --gtest_filter="InfoProviderApiTest.TestPicThread"

2. Check that the build fails when both conflicting arguments are set:

$ cmake .. -DBUILD_DEPENDENCIES=OFF -DKVS_DEFAULT_STACK_SIZE=256 -DCONSTRAINED_DEVICE=ON
...
CMake Error at dependency/libkvspic/kvspic-src/CMakeLists.txt:62 (message):
  Conflicting parameters: KVS_DEFAULT_STACK_SIZE and CONSTRAINED_DEVICE
  cannot both be set.

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

3. Pass in stack size only:

$ cmake .. -DBUILD_DEPENDENCIES=OFF -DKVS_DEFAULT_STACK_SIZE=65536
...
[100%] Completed 'libkvspic-download'
[100%] Built target libkvspic-download
-- Building with default stack size: 65536 bytes
...

4. Added some local tests to Producer-C to check the stack size of threads with THREAD_CREATE and the new API as well. Tried it with a few different KVS_DEFAULT_STACK_SIZE's set and with CONSTRAINED_DEVICE and the new API. Each time, stack sizes changed depending on the parameters.
