github: Add basic github CI tests

This builds libguestfs and runs the in-tree tests, ie. the basic
'./configure && make && make check'.

We're using the "free for public repositories" plan.  We run the tests
on Ubuntu 22.04, 24.04, latest.  Also on Fedora 42, 43 in a container
(on the Ubuntu VM).

The tests are run on pushes to the master branch, and on pull
requests to the master branch.

GObject is not built, since the tests fail and anyway there are some
deep problems with the GObject bindings and they probably will be
removed.

Thanks: Stephen Gallagher, Cole Robinson
