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- update outdated GitHub action versions;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.

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.

Add a GitHub action that builds the docker image to run builds for the
Windows (MXE) version of Subsurface.
Also update the MXE image Dockerfile to the latest version of MXE, and
add a patch to use a current version of mdbtools.
Configure GitHub actions that do not build docker images to not trigger
on changes to the contents of `scripts/docker/`.

It is very strange that in some yaml files the $(<release-version) construct
works just fine, but in others it evaluates to an empty string, even though the
file is there an has the correct content.

In order to make it easier to see what's happening inside get-atomic-buildnr.sh
write the result to a file that can be read by the caller. Not quite as
elegant, but hopefully more practical to see what's going wrong when no new
build number is created.
Make sure that post-releasenotes is successfull by actually posting a release
artifact (apparently the gh release action otherwise quietly fails).
Try to ensure we find the Android APK when uploading to the release.

Some experimentation showed what should have been obvious. The release
information is additive. So it's enough if ONE of the actions creates release
notes, all the others can simply add additional release artifacts.
To make this more obvious, this commit creates a new action that does nothing
but create the release notes and publish the release. Since it really doesn't
do anything else, it's likely to be the quickest to complete, but that doesn't
matter - the last action that has a body or body_path in the gh-release action
determines the release notes. And we now have exactly one action that does so.

Instead of using a thirdparty action and painfully passing things around,
simply use the GitHub CLI (gh) and assemble the release notes on the fly.
This makes for much simpler and much easier to maintain code.

Move both code and the release note text into files that can be shared between
multiple actions.
This should make the actions smaller and easier to read and since this is used
in several actions it should make things much easier to maintain.
In order to test this without too much unnecessary noise, this commit only
changes the android workflow - the others will be changed in a later commit
once his has been tested and works (again, this can really only be tested by
merging the PR into master).

- for now all versions start with v6.0
- CICD builds use the monolithic build number as patch level, e.g. v6.0.12345
- local builds use the following algorithm
- find the newest commit with a CICD build number that is included in the
working tree
- count the number of commits in the working tree since that commit
- if there are no commits since the last CICD build, the local build version
will be v6.0.12345-local
- if there are N commits since the last CICD build, it will be
v6.0.12345-N-local
- test builds in the CICD that don't create artifacts simply use a dummy release
in order to not incorrectly increment the build number and also not to waste
time and resources by manually checking out the nightly-build repo for each of
these builds.

Change the name of the `GITHUB_WORKSPACE` environment variable in the
android build script to `OUTPUT_DIR`, which is more intuitive when the
script is used for local builds.
Also test if the variable is defined before attempting to use it as the
target of the build output.

What a pain. It turns out that github.run_number is counting the number of
times a specific workflow has been run - but that's different for different
workflows, so using that won't get us a single tag with all the corresponding
build artifacts. And sadly I can't find a simple atomic way to increase a
GitHUb repo variable, so I came up with this somewhat convoluted dance, using
the the fact that a push to an existing brach that isn't a fast-forward will
fail.

Net net this has caused more problems than it solved. Too often binaries

This is no longer created using GitHub actions (but all the necessary

space.
