I think it's time to move away from apache jenkins and embrace github
actions (GHA). In addition to providing better visibility on a PR (i.e.
https://github.com/apache/trafficcontrol/pull/4933/checks), GHAs can be
created/modified by non-committers whereas apache jenkins cannot.

When this open PR is merged from Brennan:
https://github.com/apache/trafficcontrol/pull/4948 we will have GHAs that:

- run the weasel license checker
- check that each TC component builds successfully
- runs the unit tests agains each component

I "think" this encompasses everything done previously by apache jenkins.

+1 for GHA, -1 for migrating to https://ci-builds.apache.org
