Make multiple improvements to the existing workflows:
- create a shared custom action to deal with version number tracking
and generation;
- use this action to add the branch name to the version for pull
request builds;
- create a shared workflow for all debian-ish builds to avoid re-use
by copy / paste;
- remove potential security risks by eliminating the use of
pre-evaluated expressions (`${{ ... }}`) inside scripts;
- update outdated GitHub action versions;
- improve the consistency by renaming scripts acording to have a `.sh`
extension;
- improve naming of generated artefacts for pull requests to include
the correct version.
@dirkh: Unfortunately this is potentially going to break builds when it is
merged, as there is no good way to 'test' a merge build short of
merging.
We'll just have to deal with the fallout of it in a follow-up pull
request.

Update the linux AppImage build to use ubuntu 16.04, and simplify it to
a single workflow running on a vanilla docker image.
This still uses the upload-artifact@v3 Action that will be EOL in
November 2024, because v4 relies on node 20 which has an unmet glibc
dependency in ubuntu 16.04. But this workflow can be updated to run on
ubuntu 18.04 by a simple search / replace and disabling some 16.04
specific PPAs.
@dirkh, @probonopd: I have moved this here from #4183 to be able to
review and discuss it without the noise of the workflow cleanup.
The workflow now also publishes the AppImage as an artifact on pull
request builds, available under Checks / Details / Summary.
