Create dedicated lint CI job

[ivanvc]

• Remove the linting step from all the workflows; it should help with speed when running those CI jobs.
• Introduce a new lint job and a template to simplify reusing it for Windows and Linux.

Ref: #1178 (comment)

[ivanvc]

I think I need a manual approval for the new workflow.

[ivanvc]

I'll squash commits after we have a successful run. I want to keep the commit history in case I need to revert.

@ahrtr, could you please click the button to run the workflows I added? I can also test on my fork otherwise. Thanks.

LGTM & thx

@ahrtr, could you please click the button to run the workflows I added?

Sorry, did not get your question. Where to click the button? Seems that you need to add workflow_dispatch to the workflow first?

If you see the checks for this pull request, the new Lint jobs are not running. This is because GitHub doesn't run new workflows in PRs unless manually approved by a maintainer. It's a security measure. You should have something like this in the PR:

If there's no button to approve my new workflow, I may have a configuration issue blocking it.

[ahrtr]

You should have something like this in the PR:

No, I do not see it. As mentioned in previous comment, you need to add workflow_dispatch first to see the button.

It's OK, we can merge this PR for now, and see the workflow on main branch.

[ivanvc]

I found the issue. I'll open a new PR to address it.
