This doesn't need to be merged if you'd prefer to stick with the current logic; I largely just wanted to see if it works properly. Nonetheless, I think this represents an improvement to the CI scripts.

This PR begins using the https://github.com/mlugg/setup-zig action to install Zig in the CI workflow. This has the following advantages:

  • No more target-specific scripts; setting up Zig is 4 simple lines.
  • The tarball's minisig is verified, so this will flag up issues if the Mach mirror ever starts doing anything weird.
  • The Zig version is specified in Mach lingo, i.e. 2024.5.0-mach rather than zig-0.13.0-dev.351+64ef45eb0.
    • This could alternatively say mach-latest, but I figured this makes more sense for handling the upgrade process when new versions are nominated.
  • The global Zig cache is automatically preserved across runs, avoiding redundant work. In particular, this will avoid doing redundant work rebuilding C dependencies on every commit.
  • By selecting this checkbox, I agree to license my contributions to this project under the license(s) described in the LICENSE file, and I have the right to do so or have received permission to do so by an employer or client I am producing work for whom has this right.
