Add GitHub actions for CI and release
PR is a mere suggestion as an alternative to Jenkins-based builds. I have no assertion that this PR should or need to land, but could be an interesting discussion
This is way more complicated than the Jenkins build, though the Jenkins build is more complicated on the backend (ie you need Jenkins set up).

I agree. Though one benefit of the GH actions approach is that it can build a release and publish it to the GitHub release. Jenkins can probably do that too (and I am not sure how much utility there is, given it still ultimately ends up in a PTF)
Really should have folded #50 into these, since I also made a make target for a save file but in a much more rudimentary capacity

I believe I have some code to do that IIRC. Got sidetracked testing with various compression tools to compress the save files since they are so big.
Changes here: https://github.com/IBM/xmlservice/compare/create-release?expand=1
Creates 3 XZ-compressed save files:
- xmlservice.savf.xz: includes just the programs and service programs for XMLSERVICE
- xmlservice-tests.savf.xz includes just the tests, making it easy to run various itoolkit tests
- xmlservice-full.savf.xz: includes everything
Example release built by the branch: https://github.com/IBM/xmlservice/releases/tag/test-tag
