Migrate lint, test, test_packages jobs from CircleCI to GitHub Actions

[dtinth]

Background

Although CircleCI has a generous free plan for open source projects, it is only limited to 4 concurrent builds, leading two builds queuing up.

Meanwhile, GitHub Actions provides 20 concurrent builds.

Task

• Add these jobs to lint, test, test_packages GitHub Actions.
  • They should be on the same workflow file which is triggered on push event.
  • Set up a concurrency group, so that when new builds are created, previous builds on the same branch will be aborted.
• Your PR should contain one new file, .github/workflows/checks.yml
• Do not modify the existing CircleCI config. We will run the jobs on both CI for some time. The redundant jobs will be removed from CircleCI later.

Hey again, I'm sorry, but I know already that I won't be able to do this over this weekend, you can unassign me 🙂

@sitek94 Ok, thank you for the heads up!

@dtinth I can try spend some time on it. 🙏

@vtno Thanks! It is yours now. These 3 jobs should be pretty straightforward to migrate as they are pretty independent from other jobs.🙏

@vtno Hi! Do you still plan to work on this some time or should I unassign?
