test more Lisps in CI

[Qian Yun]

In this branch,
https://github.com/oldk1331/fricas/commits/ci-all-lisps/
or more precisely, in this commit,
https://github.com/oldk1331/fricas/commit/82efa424ff78fa24be1496cae389c64fe87c492d

I added more Lisps to CI:

Linux : sbcl clisp ecl ccl gcl
macOS x86-64: sbcl clisp ecl ccl
macOS arm64 : sbcl clisp ecl
Windows : sbcl ccl

I don't intend to merge this to trunk. I think running this
once per month and before release is enough.

This helps me to uncover the ccl-windows-gmp bug, and 2 minor
CLISP bugs.

SBCL takes around 10min, CCL around 15min, GCL around 20min,
CLISP around 25min, ECL around 30min.

BTW, one interesting finding: I find that CLISP produces
the smallest distribution. If I remove htex pages and viewports,
I can fit fricas-clisp into a 9MB compressed tarball.

Let me suggest a more convenient workflow.

You can set the triggering of this rule to manual - then to invoke it
you need to do
via the actions web interface, not automatically (via push/commit etc)

https://docs.github.com/en/actions/managing-workflow-runs-and-deployments/managing-workflow-runs/manually-running-a-workflow

For this you need to replace in your .yml file

on: [push, pull_request]

with

on: workflow_dispatch

Then certainly you can merge it into the main branch, it would not
trigger anything automatically.

And it can be started by anyone with suffcient rights for the repo.

Thanks very much! I didn't know about this.

I'll experiment with it later.
