Build/Test Tools: Backport GitHub Action and build improvements to the 5.5 branch.
This backports several build and test tool improvements to the 5.5 branch. Most notably, this includes:
- The changes required to allow each workflow to be triggered by the
workflow_dispatch
event so that tests can be run on a schedule [50590].
- The ability to run PHPUnit tests from
src
instead of build
[50441-50443].
- Splitting single site and multisite tests into parallel jobs [50379].
- Split slow tests into separate, parallel jobs for PHP 5.6 [50444].
- Better branch and path scoping for GitHub Action workflows when running on
pull_request
[50432,50479].
- Several
devDependency
updates.
