During troubleshooting it's very convenient to know the exact version
used in a bug report. With the git commit SHA1 added to the version
string in all builds, that becomes very easy.
Add a basic Android.mk for building with the Android NDK. This can serve
as a good starting point for developers integrating libdivecomputer into
an Android application.

When compiling a 32bit dll with the mingw-w64 compiler, some 64bit
integer arithmetic operations are implemented using functions from
libgcc (e.g. __udivdi3 and __umoddi3 from libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll). This
unexpected dependency is inconvenient for applications.
The run-time dependency can be avoid by linking statically.
The current hidapi version (v0.10.1) fails to build with newer autoconf
versions (v2.70) due to a duplicated AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR macro in the
configure.ac file. This is fixed in newer versions.
The migration to Visual Studio 2013 allows to build the Visual Studio
project in a Github Action.
Because some of the source files (e.g. the resource script and version
header) are normally auto-generated by the autotools build system, an
msys environment is setup to run the configure script. When building
from a distribution tarball, this extra step isn't necessary.
The new Github Actions offers similar functionality as the Travis CI
integration, but with some interesting extra features:
The build action is almost equivalent to the existing Travis build
configuration. But as an extra feature, the build artifacts are now
available for download.
The release action does automatically build a distribution tarball and
create a Github release, whenever a new version is tagged and pushed.
