CI: Added Release and Test Workflows for Linux/Android/Mac/Windows

[andrewgigena]

Merry Christmas, everyone! 🎄 I noticed the project was missing workflows for testing commits and auto-generating assets for releases. So, to spread some holiday cheer and functionality, I’ve added a few enhancements to the CI/CD pipeline.

Changes Made:

• New Workflows: Introduced GitHub Actions workflows (release.yml and test.yml) to build and test the project across various platforms and architectures. These are modified versions of the ripgrep workflows.
• Platform Support (all 64-bit):
  • Linux: x86_64, aarch64, powerpc64le, s390x, riscv64.
  • MacOS: x86_64, aarch64.
  • Windows: x86_64, aarch64.
  • Android: x86_64, aarch64.
• Release Workflow: The release.yml workflow automatically creates a GitHub release and uploads binaries and archives when a tag with the format vX.Y.Z is pushed.
• Cross-Compilation: Added a Cross.toml file to define pre-build commands for cross-compilation on non-Linux x86_64 builds.
• Library Update: Replaced rust-crypto with aes and cbc in my branch of delink. This resolves build failures on macOS and Windows caused by the outdated rust-crypto library (last updated 8 years ago). Otherwise, it will fail on every release (tests works fine). I created a PR at delink on Drop rust-crypto support about this issue.

Testing:

Here’s a summary of the testing I performed:

Linux Builds:

• Tested x86_64 natively on my machine.
• Simulated other architectures using QEMU on Debian after installing liblzma-dev.
  

Windows Builds:

• Tested the x86_64 version on a virtual machine.
• The aarch64 version is untested.
  

MacOS Builds:

• Unfortunately, I don’t have access to Mac hardware and couldn’t test these builds.

Android Builds:

• Successfully tested on a Google Pixel 4 running LineageOS 22.

These updates aim to enhance the project’s CI/CD pipeline by ensuring better platform support and smoother development workflows. Please take a look and let me know if there’s anything else you’d like adjusted or improved.

Wishing you all a fantastic holiday season! 🎅
