Those create annoying "cancelled" notifications which looks like CI on
main was failing. It's not, though.
By just disabling the cancel-in-progress setting, but keeping the group
intact, this should queue multiple tag jobs / tag workflows behind each
other and still avoids the underlying problem which occurs when running
them in parallel.
This action makes sure to always have the correct GHC and/or stack
version installed in all environments. This solves problem where ghc or
stack might not be available on newer macos images anymore or where
ghcup is not available by default on our new custom github runner on
arm.
This is a first step to split up the cabal and stack caches in separate
pieces. Here we split the work folder, which just contains the
postgrest-specific build artifacts, into a separate cache.
More fine-grained caching should give us better cache hits and much
fewer upload size in the regular case, improving CI performance.
Since the work file caches are very small (about 30-40 MB) they are
cached for PRs, too. This will allow the majority of PRs, which only
change source code files, but no dependencies, to still have cached
their build files for additional commits.
This restores caches on all branches and pull requests, but only stores
them on the main branch and release branches. This prevents those caches
from being evicted early when we hit the 10 GB limit quickly.
This doesn't make sense, because each tag is only pushed when those
pipelines have already passed. Thus, we can save time and avoid wasting
resources and don't run those again.
This happens a commit is pushed to main while the pipelines have not
finished for the previous commit. In this case the devel-tag pipelines
will run concurrently, leading to unpredictable results for the devel
release.
The release / tag job has logic to decide whether to push a new tag on
stable branches, which depends on the all the tags being fetched. The
checkout action doesn't do that by default, so enable that.
This work by automatically pushing a new tag on main and release
branches after each commit. The tag will be "devel" on main and the
version from postgrest.cabal for release branches. The release
workflow then runs as a tag pipeline, making the actual release.
For release branches, the tag will only be created if a tag for this
version doesn't exist, yet. This means to actually make a new patch
release, we still need to bump the version in postgrest.cabal. We
can automate this later as part of our backport-bot.

Using the -latest tag is potentially prone to errors, because an update of the tag
could break our CI. This recently happend with macos-latest, which we downgraded
to macos-12 earlier.
Using an explicit version reference makes this problem much less likely - in fact
renovate will pick up new versions once they exist and will suggest updates for it.
Thus, we will see the failures in a related PR instead of randomly everywhere.
