Add GitHub Actions Workflow to install from PPA

This GHAW performs the following actions on a set schedule:

- Install stock rsyslog, emit rsyslog and pkg cache info
- Enable PPA, install PPA-provided rsyslog, emit pkg and cache info
- Install additional PPA-provided rsyslog packages

This process is performed for both the "daily stable" and "scheduled
stable" PPAs.
