This ensures that GitHub Actions never reuses outdated Docker layers and that
each test run starts from a fully clean environment. The workflows for
test-container and test-e2e now explicitly invoke:
distro="${{ matrix.distro }}" make build-no-cache
before executing the actual tests.
This aligns the CI behaviour with local testing, eliminates hidden caching
differences, and guarantees deterministic test results across all distros.

- Introduce a GitHub Actions matrix for `test-container` and `test-e2e`
to run against arch, debian, ubuntu, fedora, and centos
- Run unit and integration tests only in the Arch container by passing
`distro="arch"` via make in the corresponding workflows
- Replace the global DISTROS loop with a single `distro` variable in
the Makefile, defaulting to `arch`, and export it for all scripts
- Update build scripts (build-image, build-image-no-cache, build-image-missing)
to build images for the selected distro only
- Simplify test-container script to validate a single distro image using
the `distro` environment variable
- Simplify E2E, unit, and integration test scripts to run against a
single distro container instead of iterating over all distros

- convert all test workflows to reusable workflow_call
- add central CI workflow for branches and PRs
- add mark-stable workflow triggered on main pushes
- ensure stable tag updates only after all tests succeed
- remove duplicated triggers from test workflows

This commit updates all GitHub Actions workflows and the Makefile to ensure
consistent behavior across unit, integration, end-to-end, and OS-container
tests.
Changes include:
CI Workflows:
- Rename workflows for clearer, more professional naming:
* "Test Distribution Containers" → "Test OS Containers"
* "Test package-manager (e2e)" → "Test End-To-End"
* "Test package-manager (unit)" → "Test Units"
* "Test package-manager (integration)" → "Test Code Integration"
- Remove explicit build steps from workflows; container creation is now
delegated to the Makefile via build-missing.
- Restrict test jobs to only build the Arch test container by setting:
DISTROS="arch"
Makefile:
- Add build-missing as a dependency to all test targets:
test-unit, test-integration, test-e2e, test-container
- Remove redundant build-missing call from the combined 'test' target,
since Make now ensures build-missing runs exactly once per invocation.
- Preserve existing target structure while ensuring container images are
built automatically on demand.
This makes the CI pipeline faster, more predictable, and removes duplicated
container build logic. All tests now use the same unified mechanism for
building missing images.
