Ada starter workflow, icon and properties

[mosteo]

This is a basic workflow to compile Ada projects with the GCC compiler, GNAT, through its project compilation tool, GPRbuild.

Some resources about Ada and GNAT:

• https://github.com/ohenley/awesome-ada

• http://www.getadanow.com/

• Include a good description of the workflow.

• Links to the language or tool will be nice (unless its really obvious)

• The workflow filename of CI workflows should be the name of the language or platform, in lower case. Special characters should be removed or replaced with words as appropriate (for example, "dotnet" instead of ".NET").

• Includes a matching ci/properties/*.properties.json file.

• Use sentence case for the names of workflows and steps, for example "Run tests".

• The name of CI workflows should only be the name of the language or platform: for example "Go" (not "Go CI" or "Go Build")

• Include comments in the workflow for any parts that are not obvious or could use clarification.

• CI workflows should run on push to branches: [ master ] and pull_request to branches: [ master ].

• This workflow must only use actions that are produced by GitHub, in the actions organization, or

• This workflow must not send data to any 3rd party service except for the purposes of installing dependencies.

• This workflow must not use a paid service or product.

I suggest that description is changed into "Build Ada project with GPRbuild."

Thanks for the review, @jquorning. I've pushed your suggested fix.

Thanks @mosteo and sorry for the delay. The workflow looks good, I left one suggestion to cope with $default-branch that we can change.

I'm unclear about the SVG logo you added though. It looks like a logo from Awesome Ada and not the a logo for Ada, which would confuse users. We also need a logo to be able to redistributed under the MIT license and I can't spot anything about that logo.

So we'd need to change this to the Ada logo with a link to something showing we can redistribute it.

Hello Andy,

Thanks @mosteo and sorry for the delay. The workflow looks good, I left one suggestion to cope with $default-branch that we can change.

Thanks for the suggestion, I just applied it.

Right, I did privately ask the Awesome Ada author for permission to use the logo but I see your points.

It seems the Hummingbird logo is the one used by the GNAT compiler people. According to that page, the Ada mascot can be freely used for anything Ada-related. Also, Wikipedia's version is explicitly Public Domain. I used that one and removed the text (since I see most icons avoid it). I just committed it.
