 We've got [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/actions/workflows/upgrade-testing.yml an "Upgrade Tests" GitHub
 Actions workflow which runs upgrade tests], but this workflow only runs
 when manually triggered, it doesn't run on PRs or pushes to trunk (unless
 the workflow file itself is changed).

 There should be a workflow which tests the process of upgrading from a
 prior version to a Zip built from the current branch.

 The existing "Upgrade Tests" workflow tests upgrades from a given version
 to the latest stable. It needs to be adjusted (or we need a new workflow)
 which allows upgrading to a specified Zip file.

 To keep the number of tests (and the workflow time) manageable, we
 shouldn't test the entire matrix, but just a few choice upgrades.
