### Motivation:
For better control over GitHub workflows, switch over to a tags-based
dependency.
### Modifications:
- Switch to tags
- Enable dependabot to get weekly update checks
### Result:
More streamlined and controlled GHA dependency updates.
### Motivation:
Right now, the nightly CI is failing due to the package relying on old
decommissioned Swift toolchains (dev toolchains for 6.0).
### Modifications:
Updated the CI setup to be Swift 6.0+, bumped the tools version, but
kept the language mode to 5 for now.
Bumping of language mode from 5 to 6 can be done in a separate PR, this
PR is mainly to unblock nightly CI.
### Result:
Fixes nightly CI.
### Motivation:
Some errors do not show up in debug builds. Enabling release mode builds
improves the CI coverage.
### Modifications:
Enable release mode builds for pull requests and scheduled builds on
main.
### Result:
Improved CI coverage.
* Motivation:
Make use of more common GitHub Actions migration workflows and repository style changes.
Modifications:
* Unit tests workflows run redis in a separate services container to speed up unit tests
* Introduce `main.yml` which runs workflows on each commit to main and periodically to catch any regressions in merges or from upstream.
* Remove the docker files which are no longer used and contained outdated pipelines.
* Add Cxx interoperability checks
Result:
More in common with other GitHub Actions adoptions.
* disable strict concurrency
