The options used were wrong in two ways: firstly they were not enforced
as a "choice" (i.e. invalid input valudes could be provided without
error) and one of the options was listed as `gh` when we passed it as
`gha` from ci.yml.
"Fix" this by removing the choice altogether but sanity-testing the
input value against an expected list using a GHA "warning" to notify of
unknown inputs.

When using `docker buildx build` in conjunction with the `gha` backend
cache type, it's important to specify the URL and TOKEN needed to
authenticate.
On Cirrus runners this is working with only `ACTIONS_CACHE_URL` and
`ACTIONS_RUNTIME_TOKEN`, but this is not enough for the GitHub backend.
Fix this by exporting all `ACTIONS_*` variables.
This fixes cache restore/save on forks or where GH-hosted runners are
being used.

$FILE_ENV has a full relative path already, prepending with ci/test/
results in a non-existent path which means that DEPENDS_HASH was not
actually committing to the test's environment file.

Another action to reduce boilerplate in the main ci.yml file.
This action will set up a docker builder compatible with caching build
layers to a container registry using the `gha` build driver.
It will then configure the docker build cache args.
Add "Restore" and "Save" caching actions.
These actions reduce boilerplate in the main ci.yml configuration file.
These actions are implemented so that caches will be saved on `push`
only.
When a pull request is opened it will cache hit on the caches from the
lastest push, or in the case of depends will hit on any matching depends
hash, falling back to partial matches.
Depends caches are hashed using
`$(git ls-tree HEAD depends "ci/test/$FILE_ENV" | sha256sum | cut -d' ' -f1)`
and this hash is passed in as an input to the actions. This means we
direct cache hit in cases where depends would not be re-built, otherwise
falling back to a partial match.
Previous releases cache is hashed similarly to depends, but using the
test/get_previous_releases.py file.
The cirruslabs cache action will fallback transparently to GitHub's
cache in the case that the job is not being run on a Cirrus Runner,
making these compatible with running on forks (on free GH hardware).
