This PR adds a native aarch64 target to our release process.
It also includes refactoring of workflow generation and minor tweaks:
* removing some workarounds in the generated action code that are not needed anymore;
* some version bumps that are harmless;
* release builds have cleaning enabled unconditionally.
Now the `clean` CI steps are run always for benchmarking jobs. We run the full `./run git-clean` before and after benchmarks. Benchmarks take long enough to make any savings by not cleaning negligible.
### Important Notes
This PR brings partial refactoring in the workflow generating code which was very dirty. I'll build on this further soon when adding proper aarch64 macOS support.
Also, some minor tweaks to the generation were made:
* not writing `always() &&` twice;
* run only the latter cleaning step for canceled jobs.
Upgrade to GraalVM JDK 21.

# Important Notes
- After this PR, one can theoretically run enso with any JRE with version at least 21.
- Removed `sbt bootstrap` hack and all the other build time related hacks related to the handling of GraalVM distribution.
- `project-manager` remains backward compatible - it can open older engines with runtimes. New engines now do no longer require a separate runtime to be downloaded.
- sbt does not support compilation of `module-info.java` files in mixed projects - https://github.com/sbt/sbt/issues/3368
- Which means that we can have `module-info.java` files only for Java-only projects.
- Anyway, we need just a single `module-info.class` in the resulting `runtime.jar` fat jar.
- `runtime.jar` is assembled in `runtime-with-instruments` with a custom merge strategy (`sbt-assembly` plugin). Caching is disabled for custom merge strategies, which means that re-assembly of `runtime.jar` will be more frequent.
- Engine distribution contains multiple JAR archives (modules) in `component` directory, along with `runner/runner.jar` that is hidden inside a nested directory.
- The new entry point to the engine runner is [EngineRunnerBootLoader](https://github.com/enso-org/enso/pull/7991/files#diff-9ab172d0566c18456472aeb95c4345f47e2db3965e77e29c11694d3a9333a2aa) that contains a custom ClassLoader - to make sure that everything that does not have to be loaded from a module is loaded from `runner.jar`, which is not a module.
- The new command line for launching the engine runner is in [distribution/bin/enso](https://github.com/enso-org/enso/pull/7991/files#diff-0b66983403b2c329febc7381cd23d45871d4d555ce98dd040d4d1e879c8f3725)
- [Newest version of Frgaal](https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/frgaal/compiler/20.0.1/) (20.0.1) does not recognize `--source 21` option, only `--source 20`.
This PR updates the build script:
* fixed issue where program version check was not properly triggering;
* improved `git-clean` command to correctly clear Scala artifacts;
* added `run.ps1` wrapper to the build script that works better with PowerShell than `run.cmd`;
* increased timeouts to work around failures on macOS nightly builds;
* replaced depracated GitHub Actions APIs (set-output) with their new equivalents;
* workaround for issue with electron builder (python2 lookup) on newer macOS runner images;
* GUI and backend dispatches to cloud were completed;
* release workflow allows creating RC releases.
* added polyfill globals plugin to fix issue with missing types like Buffer that was affecting nightly releases;
* fixed exit code propagation for Windows build script wrapper;
* bumped the build script and refreshed the generated workflows.
Includes https://github.com/enso-org/ci-build/pull/8
This PR replaces webpack with esbuild, as our bundler.
The change leads to out-of-the-box ~5x improvement in bundling times, reducing the latency in watch-based workflows.
Along with this a new development server (with live reload capacity) has been introduced to support watch command.
[ci no changelog needed]
### Important Notes
* workflow for checking docs has been removed because it was using outdated prettier version and caused troubles; while the same check is performed in a better way by the GUI/Lint job.
* introduced little more typescript in the scripts in place of js, usually with minimal changes.
