+- The GitHub workflows is now split into PRs and CI workflows.

+    These new workflows also start using a new reusable `gh-action-nox`, native arm runners and Ubuntu 24.04, as [Ubuntu 20.04 will be removed from GitHub runners by April's 1st][ubuntu-20.04]. Python 3.12 is also added to the test matrix.

+    The PR action is more lightweight, and only tests with one matrix (the most widely used), so PRs can be tested more quickly.
+
+    The push workflow does a more intense testing with all matrix combinations. This also runs for the merge queue, so before PRs are actually merged the tests will run for the complete matrix.
