 Previously:

 * #51802 (5.7)
 * #51344 (5.6)

 This ticket is for various fixes and improvements in PHPUnit tests that
 don't have a more specific ticket, as well as general improvements to the
 GitHub Actions workflows that run automated testing.

Comment (by desrosj):

 I've been noticing a handful of small improvements that can be made for
 the GitHub Actions workflows.

 A "catch all" ticket for those will help reduce a lot of noise and having
 to open new tickets. After chatting with @johnbillion, it seems this
 ticket could just be used. I've adjusted the title and description of this
 ticket to be a bit more broad to reflect this.

 If anyone disagrees, we can split off a separate ticket specifically for
 tooling/GHA improvements.
