Plans for later, build in clang and gcc on Windows and OSX

What's the motivation for porting to GitHub Actions? Doesn't it have the exact same restrictions as Azure?

so users don't have to sign up to extra services to run auto builds, and yeah i think

I think that GitHub Actions is useful now because of free arm64 runners. I improved illusion0001's version a bit:
https://github.com/q4a/rpcs3/commits/arm-ci/
But don't understand how to pass $COMPILER env to docker?
Check fail on github actions:
https://github.com/q4a/rpcs3/actions/runs/12852962562/job/35835578225
vs sucess on Cirrus CI:

$COMPILER is used to distinguish between GCC and clang builds

I know that)
Cirrus CI has this lines in log:
https://cirrus-ci.com/task/6366890357948416

+ export CC=clang-18
+ export CXX=clang++-18

Actions x86_64 has this lines in log:
https://github.com/q4a/rpcs3/actions/runs/12852962562/job/35835578464

+ export CC=clang-18
+ export CXX=clang++-18

But Actions arm64 has only this lines in log:
https://github.com/q4a/rpcs3/actions/runs/12852962562/job/35835578225

+ export CC=
+ export CXX=

Ok. I fixed arm64 build with simple chmod +x ‎.ci/build-linux-aarch64.sh.
@illusion0001 can you cherry-pick or just copy my changes to this PR?

Here is build result:

Maybe instead of matrix: Linux Build it can be matrix: Linux Aarch 64 and matrix: Linux X64 by creating new name categories.
I was looking into splitting the files and then just using uses ./.workflows/linux_aarch64.yml
That way there's a main file for rpcs3.yml and then maintainable smaller jobs. Especially after adding MacOS then Windows Arm.
