Start a new release cycle with empty release notes.
The ABI version becomes 22.0.
The map files are updated to the new ABI major number (22).
The ABI exceptions are dropped and CI ABI checks are disabled because
compatibility is not preserved.

Introduce an internal firmware loading helper to remove code duplication
in our drivers and handle xz compressed firmware by calling libarchive.
This helper tries to look for .xz suffixes so that drivers are not aware
the firmware has been compressed.
libarchive is set as an optional dependency: without libarchive, a
runtime warning is emitted so that users know there is a compressed
firmware.
Windows implementation is left as an empty stub.

When bumping DPDK version, we should have bumped the ABI reference too.

Parts of the unit tests code rely on forked/secondary processes
(expectedly) failing.
A crash in those situations could be missed so add a check on coredumps
presence after unit tests have run.
When unit tests fail, it can also help checking for coredumps as it
could give more insights on what happened.
In some situations (like explicit call to rte_panic), coredump generation
must be disabled to avoid false positives.

Ubuntu 18.04 GHA virtual machine images point at an invalid APT
repository.
We have no control over this, simply ignore the failure.
This was caught by Ilya for OVS and the robot just hit the same issue

Use the same interpreter to run pmdinfogen as for other build scripts.
Adjust wrapper script accordingly and also don't suppress stderr from ar
and pmdinfogen. Add configure-time check for elftools Python module for
Unix hosts.
Add pyelftools to CI configuration and build requirements for Linux and
FreeBSD. Windows targets are not currently using pmdinfogen.
Suppress ABI warnings about generated PMD information strings.

v21 ABI will be maintained until v21.11.
Let's use the latest released libabigail 1.8.
In GitHub Actions, libabigail binaries and the ABI reference are stored
in two shared caches as all branches can use the same.
While at it, we can reproduce changes from the commit 0b8086ce3f
("devtools: remove useless files from ABI reference").
This will save some space in the CI caches.

With the recent changes in terms of free access to the Travis CI, let's
offer an alternative with GitHub Actions.
Running jobs on ARM is not supported unless using external runners, so
this commit only adds builds for x86_64 and cross compiling for i386 and
aarch64.
Differences with the Travis CI integration:
- Error logs are not dumped to the console when something goes wrong.
Instead, they are gathered in a "catch-all" step and attached as
artifacts.
- A cache entry is stored once and for all, but if no cache is found you
can inherit from the default branch cache. The cache is 5GB large, for
the whole git repository.
- The maximum retention of logs and artifacts is 3 months.
- /home/runner is world writable, so a workaround has been added for
starting dpdk processes.
- Ilya, working on OVS GHA support, noticed that jobs can run with
processors that don't have the same capabilities. For DPDK, this
impacts the ccache content since everything was built with
-march=native so far, and we will end up with binaries that can't run
in a later build. The problem has not been seen in Travis CI (?) but
it is safer to use a fixed "-Dmachine=default" in any case.
- Scheduling jobs is part of the configuration and takes the form of a
crontab. A build is scheduled every Monday at 0:00 (UTC) to provide a
default ccache for the week (useful for the ovsrobot).
