Add scanning and updates of dependencies with Dependabot where this is
possible.
While this isn't currently available for the majority of our code that
is in C / C++, there are some things 'around the edges' where we can
offload some of the dependency management:
- GitHub actions
- docker images
- the gradle build for android

Use the version information detected in the manage-version action, as
the actual build is happening in the speculative post-merge branch,
resulting in a bogus 'commit distance' number.

Make the version information used throughout the application and build
process compliant with the SemVer specifications, so that it can be
processed with libraries.

Update the AppImage workflow to be based on ubuntu 20.04 in order to
support the updated requirement of GitHub actions to run on node 20.

Remove the workflow for building an ubuntu 14.04 Docker image. This is
no longer needed since the AppImage is now built on 16.04.

Suppress errors in the 'Add Artifact Comment' workflow if there are no
artifacts produced by the pull request workflow - this gets rid of
follow-on error messages when a pull request workflow encounters a build
error.

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- update outdated GitHub action versions;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.

Move the Qt resources required for the build for MacOS and iOS into
GitHub, into their own repositories. This removes the need to publish
them on an external file server and download them from there for every
build.
It will also make it easier for contributors to update these resources
if needed.

Do a few things:
- add a build for Debian trixie (as discussed in #4182);
- add a build for Ubuntu 24.04;
- rename the build definitions to match the build names;
- update the artifact uploads to use a non-deprecated version of the
action, and name the artifact appropriately;
- remove a stale workflow file.

Update the version of Qt that is used in the CICD build for MacOS to
5.15.13. This version is showing promise for building binaries that work
on Apple silicon.

Do some housekeeping and cleanup on the build scripts for Windows:
- remove Windows 32bit builds as support for this has been removed from
the mxe container;
- fix some warnings in the smtk2ssrf installer configuration;
- sanitise the output colour of the smtk2ssrf build script;
- add a docker based build script for the Windows installers;
- remove outdated and deprecated documentation and scripts.
