Triggering a workflow for a branch manually is not supported by default in GH Actions, but has to be explicitly allowed. This is useful if, for instance, an external action script or composer dependency has broken. Once a fix is available, failing builds for open PRs can be retriggered manually instead of having to be re-pushed to retrigger the workflow. Ref: https://github.blog/changelog/2020-07-06-github-actions-manual-triggers-with-workflow_dispatch/
The cs2pr tool will allow to display the results from an action run in checkstyle format in-line in the PR code view, which should improve usability of the workflow results. Ref: https://github.com/staabm/annotate-pull-request-from-checkstyle
This adds an "experimental" build against PHP 8.1 as an early detection system for compatibility issues. This build is allowed to fail.
When the PHP version nr is provided as a string, the full text will show in the `title`, otherwise, for PHP 8.0, it would be cut off to `8` (float to integer cast).
