(MODULES-10760) Bump to beaker 4

In preparation for the Puppet 7 release, the
`puppet-module-posix-dev-r2.7` and `puppet-module-posix-dev-r2.7` gems
had to be removed from `Gemfile` due to the following dependency error:
  `puppet-module-posix-dev-r2.7` depends on
    `puppet_litmus` which depends on
      `bolt` which depends on
        `puppet` which is locked to a version below 7

Also added the needed gems that were lost in the above removal process.

Added GitHub Actions workflows for `Static Code Analysis` and `Unit
Tests` that run each time there is a new `pull request` or `git push`.
`Unit tests` are also set to run every workday at `05:00:00 UTC`.

The `.yaml` config files of `Travis` and `AppVeyor` have been removed.

(MODULES-10800) Add GitHub Actions workflows

(maint) update daily status badge

This commit adds the `commits` rake task and runs it in the Static Code
Analysis workflow as a step.

Unit tests seem to be running much faster on Windows 2016 with GitHub
Actions than Windows 2019.

During the removal of `puppet-module-dev`, the pdk and puppet-blacksmith
gems were also removed by mistake. This commit makes us able to release
again.

This commit adds a job to the `[Daily] Unit Tests with nightly Puppet
gem` workflow that notifies us the conclusion of it via Slack.

Due to unknown environment changes in GitHub Actions runners, we
encountered the following error:
`fatal: cannot create directory: Filename too long`

This commit allows git to use long paths in our GitHub Actions
workflows.

Create a separate group in the Gemfile for pdk and puppet-blacksmith
which are only used for releasing. In the workflow, avoid installing the
release group.

Pin puppet-module-posix-system and puppet-module-win-system to an older
version since the newer ones do not bundle some gems that we use in
acceptance (i.e. beaker-module_install_helper), causing tests to fail.

Update the workflow that tests with released Puppet gems to also test
with Puppet 7.

Remove testing with Puppet 5 from the workflows since it reached EOL.

Bump Ruby version in the static code analysis workflow to 2.6, as 2.5
will be EOL soon.

To avoid having to update this everytime we release a new agent
platform, it should be enough to specify the supported OS, without
specific versions. It is assumed that for each OS in metadata.json, the
versions supported are the same as what the agent itself supports.

Includes REFERENCE.md ToC fixes for MODULES-8183.

(MODULES-11197) Update to pdk-templates 2.2.0

(maint) Pin the async gem

Upgraded github actions to use windows 2019 instead of windows 2016 as
it will be removed on March 15, 2022.

…macos_to_latest

(MODULES-11350) Update macos image for actions

This commit runs `pdk update` using the most recent template at the
time (2.7.1) and updates metadata.json to allow Puppet versions
< 9.0.0 in preparation for the release of Puppet 8.

GitHub is deprecating Ubuntu 18.04 runners on April 1, 2023. This
commit switches all Ubuntu 18.04 runners used in GitHub Actions to
Ubuntu 20.04.

This commit also updates all instances of the actions/checkout@v2
to actions/checkout@v3 in perparation for the former's deprecation
as part of the NodeJS deprecation.

(MODULES-11371) Updates PDK template

In 2172091 , we updated the module according to PDK template 7.2.1,
which updated puppetlabs_spec_helper. The updated version of
puppetlabs_spec_helper removed the Beaker rake task, which we use
for acceptance testing.

This commit adds the voxpupuli-acceptance gem, which re-adds the
Beaker rake task.

The PDK Docker image does not contain any build tools, which causes
the installation of gems that use native extensions to fail.

This commit changes the Docker image used in the Auto Release
GitHub Action from the PDK image to the Puppet dev-tools image,
which contains packages like `make` necessary for building native
extensions.

Modeling after the learnings of the support team in commit
puppetlabs/puppetlabs-puppet_metrics_collector@78dd858

This commit pins the github_changelog_generator gem to its latest
version to make it work, and the concurrent-ruby to an older version
to compensate for the version of PDK shipped in the dev-tools
container image.
