Description

The Travis and Yetus based build system has been helpful in getting some kind of CI off the ground for Avro, but it suffers from a number of challenges that haven't been addressed. Based on the fact that other Apache projects such as Airflow use GitHub Actions regularly, I propose to replace the Travis build system with one using GitHub actions, with the following goals and improvements:

1. To run tests in parallel, wherever it makes sense.
2. To isolate tests so that contributors can find relevant logs easily.
3. To only run tests relevant to the current pull request.
