Improve our build workflow execution time by using custom runners,
improved caching and conditional Web UI builds.
Runners
-------
We improve our build times[0] by using larger custom runners[1] when
building the UI and Vault.
Caching
-------
We improve Vault caching by keeping a cache for each build job. This
strategy has the following properties which should result in faster
build times when `go.sum` hasn't been changed from prior builds, or
when a pull request is retried or updated after a prior successful
build:
* Builds will restore cached Go modules and Go build cache according to
the Go version, platform, architecture, go tags, and hash of `go.sum`
that relates to each individual build workflow. This reduces the
amount of time it will take to download the cache on hits and upload
the cache on misses.
* Parallel build workflows won't clobber each others build cache. This
results in much faster compile times after cache hits because the Go
compiler can reuse the platform, architecture, and tag specific build
cache that it created on prior runs.
* Older modules and build cache will not be uploaded when creating a new
cache. This should result in lean cache sizes on an ongoing basis.
* On cache misses we will have to upload our compressed module and build
cache. This will slightly extend the build time for pull requests that
modify `go.sum`.
Web UI
------
We no longer build the web UI in every build workflow. Instead we separate
the UI building into its own workflow and cache the resulting assets.
The same UI assets are restored from cache during build worklows. This
strategy has the following properties:
* If the `ui` directory has not changed from prior builds we'll restore
`http/web_ui` from cache and skip building the UI for no reason.
* We continue to use the built-in `yarn` caching functionality in
`action/setup-node`. The default mode saves the `yarn` global cache.
to improve UI build times if the cache has not been modified.
Changes
-------
* Add per platform/archicture Go module and build caching
* Move UI building into a separate job and cache the result
* Restore UI cache during build
* Pin workflows

This fixes the binary building on ent, except because I ran into problems with the binary-based tests there, I've included a bunch of `github.repository != 'hashicorp/vault-enterprise'` conditions to disable the binary building. I'll fix the test problems in a future PR and remove those repo conditions.
* address lint reports
* add diff-oss-ci and test-ui jobs to ci GHA workflow
* Add actions linter workflow
* Fix actions linter errors
* pin 3rd party components with SHA hash and limit actionlint workflow to pull requests touching paths under .github directory
* Fix actionlint runner
* pin SHA hash of 3rd party components
use .go-version file to provide go version to setup-go action
remove unncessary ref parameter in checkout action

* Add a GHA job running Go tests with race detection enabled to the CI workflow
* Incorporate logic from test-go-race into the test-go testing matrix
* Make test-go testing matrix job names more meaningful
* Fix some a bug in script's logic
* Experiment: bump wait time in the failing TestLoginMFASinglePhase test to see if that makes a difference
* Lower the wait time in TestLoginMFASinglePhase
* Change the wait time in TestLoginMFASinglePhase to 15
* Add more detail to test-go testing matrix job names
* Test whether we already have access to larger runners
* Run Go tests with enabled data race detection from a separate job than the standard suite of tests
* Tweak runner sizes for OSS
* Try rebalancing test buckets
* Change instance type for larger ENT runners
* Undo rebalancing of test buckets as it changed nothing
* Change instance type for larger OSS runners
* Change the way we generate names for matrix jobs
* Consolidate the Go build tags variables, update them to use comma as a separator and fix the if statement in test-go
* Fix a typo
* Migrate subset of CircleCI ci workflow to GitHub Actions
Runs test-go and test-go-remote-docker with a static splitting of test packages
* [skip actions] add comment to explain the purpose of test-generate-test-package-lists.sh and what to do if it fails
* change trigger to push
