Using `--trace-children=yes` has a trade-off here, as it makes
`test_scripts.sh` pretty slow when calling various non-xz utilities.
But I also feel like it's not useless to have Valgrind used there and it's
not easy to exclude Valgrind just for that one test...
I did consider using AX_VALGRIND_CHECK [0][1] but I couldn't get it working
immediately with some conditionally-built tests and I wondered if it was
worth spending time on at least while we're debating xz's future build
system situation.

The default for many of the MSYS2 environments is for CMake to create
Ninja build files. This would complicate the build script since we would
need a different command to run the tests. Its simpler to always use
Unix Makefiles so that "make test" is always a usable target for
testing.
ci_build.sh was updated to accept disabling of __attribute__ ifunc
and CLMUL. This will allow -fsanitize=address to pass because ifunc
is incompatible with -fsanitize=address. The CLMUL implementation has
optimizations that potentially read past the buffer and mask out the
unwanted bytes.
This test will only run on Autotools Linux.
If the cache file is not removed, CMake will not reset configurations
back to their default values. In order to make the tests independent, it
is simplest to purge the cache. Unfortunatly, this will slow down the
tests a little and repeat some checks.
This script is only meant to be run as part of the CI build/test process
on machines that are known to have bash (Ubuntu and MacOS). If this
assumption changes in the future, then the bash specific commands will
need to be replaced with a more portable option. For now, it is
convenient to use bash commands.
The new PHASE argument can be build, test, or all. all is the default.
This way, the CI/CD script can differentiate between the build and test
phases to make it easier to track down errors when they happen.
The CI/CD workflow will only execute on Ubuntu and MacOS latest version.
The workflow will attempt to build with autotools and CMake and execute
the tests. The workflow will run for all pull requests and pushes done
to the master branch.
