Fix and improve GitHub Actions CI

* Fixed problem with older compilers by explicitly installing the
  right compiler version.
* Split apart simple builds that can be well described by a build
  matrix, and builds that need special CMake defines or similar
  special snowflake handling.
* Ported some extras + examples builds from TravisCI to GitHub
  Actions.
