improve CI testing

[MCWertGaming]

We should improve the CI testing coverage by doing:

• switch to the official cmake action by github and add testing for multiple compile targets (Release, debug)
• DevSkim (code scanning)
• Flawfinder
• Microsoft code analysis
• PSScriptAnalyzer (for the powershell scripts)
• Superlinter
• OSSAR (early project by microsoft)
• Labeler (label PRs based on changed files)
• Greetings (greets first time contributors)
• Stale (closes issues when they become stale)
• https://pre-commit.ci

Other things

• add dependabot for github actions
• move to google test (maybe)
• copy the colors example to the stand-alone test
• enable all warnings and turn them into errors (see CI: Enable all warnings on all compilers and turn them into errors #33 for reference)
• add testing for the interactive prompt (see CI: add tests for an interactive prompt #59)
• add unit testing

Analysis tools

• clang-tidy
• cpp-check
• shellcheck (for bash scripts if needed)
• cpplint

Compilers

• Linux - clang, gcc
• Windows - MSVC, clang-cl (clang with MS-VS adapter)
• MSYS2 - GCC, Clang
• MinGW - GCC, clang
• Cygwin - GCC, clang
• MacOS - apple-clang (more if available)

Hi,
This is the pre-commit I use for other project :

It deals with most the analysis tools you asked + some others

1. For the ones which need CI

Feel free to skip what is irrelevant, useless to you :)

For the config files you can adapt some from here : https://github.com/flagarde/Khaos and tune them for your needs

[flagarde]

For the tests with Ubuntu clang +gcc you can use
https://github.com/flagarde/Khaos/blob/main/.github/workflows/Ubuntu.yml clang3.9 clang4 are buggy on ubuntu so you can skip them or comment them.

The docker containers are done by https://github.com/flagarde/ci . It still in very beta but you can have a try. the containers are by design very limited in software you need to install them on the CI

MacOS clang:
https://github.com/yaodaq/YAODAQ/blob/main/.github/workflows/MacOS-Clang.yml

MacOS GCC:
https://github.com/yaodaq/YAODAQ/blob/main/.github/workflows/MacOS-GCC.yml

Windows:
https://github.com/yaodaq/YAODAQ/blob/main/.github/workflows/Windows-MSVC.yml
https://github.com/yaodaq/YAODAQ/blob/main/.github/workflows/Windows-MSYS2.yml

MinGW - GCC, clang, Cygwin - GCC, clang I tried and I gave up :(

Fell free to copy and adapt. I'm would be really happy if you fin some improvments too :)

[MCWertGaming]

Really nice! Thank you. I have looked briefly over them and they all look really great. We might want to stick with the official github template though, but I'll look into that when the window class stuff is done.
