 Build/Test Tools: Backport GitHub Action and build improvements to the 4.4
 branch.

 This backports several build and test tool improvements to the 4.4 branch.
 Most notably, this includes:

 - The changes required to allow each workflow to be triggered by the
 `workflow_dispatch` event so that tests can be run on a schedule [50590].
 - Splitting single site and multisite tests into parallel jobs [50379].
 - Split slow tests into separate, parallel jobs for PHP <= 5.6 [50444].
 - Better branch and path scoping for GitHub Action workflows when running
 on `pull_request` [50432,50479].
 - Several `devDependency` updates.
