container instance checks

[grantmacken]

This is a reworking of of the gh workflow actions after the erlang and rebar3 removal from the standard ubuntu:latest runner.

The workflow now contains workflow calls.

1. build-check.yml: Initial checks are run by

• building a production tar on the official erlang:alpine container,
• unpacking then running xqerl
• running pass -fail or informational checks

2. xqerl-slim-tar.yml: If these checks succeed, then we

• build a production tar on the official erlang:slim container
• check if it runnable.
  if the runnable check succeeds AND if we have pushed an annotated tag
  then a github semver release tar is created based on the slim build.

3. xqerl-alpine-image.yml:

• runs on ubuntu-latest
• image built with buildah then saved as a tar and uploaded as an artefact
• subsequent jobs,
  • download the tar,
  • load the image into the local image registry,
  • then run a container instance
  • then run checks using the container instance
    These checks include
• db CRUD ops with_curl
• demonstration of data backup and restore using container volumes
• bulk db ops - xml
• bulk db ops - json TODO
• JSON test suite compliance
• these checks are warning - informational

At the moment a warning is given however, this should be a fail when an attempt is made to resolve issue

Below is the original issue #75 I was working from

Use gh actions to run typical db CRUD ops using a reasonable amount of data in a container instance.
The idea is to check the xqerl app server database for db op regression bugs

• Build the xqerl container image then run a container instance with volume mounts
• Working with xqerl rest db api
  • create XDM document-node resource with Slug header
  • create XDM document-node resource without slug
  • use HEAD method to check if database resource available
  • use Accept header to retrieve XDM document-node resource serialized as XML
  • use PUT method to update database XML resource
  • use GET method after PUT to retrieve modified resource
  • use DELETE method to remove resource
• Check in xqerl logs if the above ops created a CRASH and that we can list resources
• stop start checks
  • pause container instance - this will stop all running processes in container
  • unpause container instance and check if xqerl is running, no Crash occurred, and db data can be listed
  • stop container instance, remove named container.
  • run new container instance with same named volume mounts and check if no Crash occurred, and db data can be listed
• bulk loading of data into database: with each load stop container, remove container instance, then run new instance and check if no Crash occurred, and that db data can be listed
  • with rest db API load source data obtained from the test directory.
  • with ''xqldb_dml:import_from_directory()" and xqerl eval
  • with restXQ module functions
• Demonstrate code and data backup by exporting xqerl-data and xqerl-code volumes

Did something format this file as a different file type? Looks like it got mis-formatted a bit.
