Motivation
Currently a single user can cause the Github Actions / Workflows based CI to get overloaded when commits are pushed to a PR branch frequently, one by one. To mitigate this issue, cancel any previous Github Actions runs that are not completed for a given workflow, for a particular branch / PR. This can be achieved by using the https://github.com/marketplace/actions/cancel-workflow-action .
There are multiple cancel actions available. This particular one was picked based on its popularity.
Modifications
Append each workflow with the cancel workflow action step.
