GitHub ci extend

[jacomago]

Add testing to github ci.

• Refactor the ci to be per type of action
• Add reusable sub workflows, unit-test, integration-test, ui-test, etc
• Rename JavaFX tests (they fail unless access to some kind of ui) have them run with ui-tests workflow
• Remove some unnecessary relying on Elasticsearch Config for some integration tests in save and restore
• Add dependabot for the github actions (could be expanded for the pom.xml)
• Remove the dead travis ci (was tied to a very old version of ubuntu)

Open questions:

• Add dependabot for pom.xml?
• Remove 'tests were run from PR template?

Checklist

This looks broadly nice

I wish this had happened before I was cleaning them up for jdk 25 :)

I am impressed.

I'm not personally a fan of having to review big changes, especially AI-assisted. GitHub actions are something that's quite easy to get wrong in very subtle, and insecure ways.

I can't review everything that this PR does, so I've run the tool zizmor to audit some common issues with GitHub actions. Here's some of the most important ones (see the linked audit rules for a more complete explanation):

• It's recommended to pin the hash of every use of an external action, to prevent supply chain attacks through actions

• In the same way, it's recommended to pin the hash of used Docker images

• It's recommended to set important / write permissions at the jobs level, instead of at the workflow level

• When using user-controlled strings inside commands, it's recommended to go through and environment variable to prevent command injection, for example by using:

      - name: Build with Maven
        run: mvn --batch-mode ${INPUTS_MAVEN_ARGS}
        env:
          INPUTS_MAVEN_ARGS: ${{ inputs.maven-args }}

• It's recommended to set a cooldown setting to the Dependabot upgrade

• Zizmor categorises the workflow_run trigger as fundamentally insecure, as they allow running unreviewed user-controlled code from forks in the context of the target repository (including configured secrets and permissions)

But there's more, here's the complete output of zizmor --persona auditor .github on my machine:

I recommend setting up the zizmor action so that those kind of issues are catched when modifying those jobs.

In the EPNix repository "Actions" settings, I've also restricted which actions can run, to limit which transitive action dependencies can be run in our CI

[jacomago]

Zizmor looks pretty cool. I'll fix all the warnings on Monday, unless someone wants to take over.

https://depmedicdev-byte.github.io/compare/ci-doctor-vs-zizmor.html

The workflow - running zizmor and ci-doctor side-by-side - looks pretty usable.

[shroffk]

to prevent this PR from becoming any bigger, added zizmor in a separate PR #3843

Source changes look benign. Can't comment on the GitHub actions
