Enable github actions

[rillian]

Some further cleanup I did on the master branch after submitting #24, in case you'd like to do something similar.

• Remove custom lints, since they don't seem portable.
  • Fixes cargo +nightly bench
• Starter github actions script, since travis is dropping their free tier.
  • Default branch only; might need amending since you use dev branches.
• Opt into rust 2018 edition for better future-proofing.
• Bump rand to reduce the dep count.

Please let me know if you'd like me to redo this against another branch.

Thanks for the PR, most of these changes will be available as soon as I release the 2.1.0 version, which I expect to do before the end of the year, as soon as all tests are passing :)

The only thing I would like to set up would be GitHub actions and using master as the default branch, which I think I will leave it for Q1 next year, since I don't have a lot of free time to do it now, and having an up-to-date version release should be a priority compared to having the CI "right".

No worries. I was just curious about the implementation and found I couldn't build it. :)

I wouldn't say working CI is lower priority than a release though. Continuous integration feedback is a semi-external review of the software's status. It gives both authors and users confidence that the code is in a good state during development and when releases are made.

Thanks for publishing the crate!

Yes, but for now, the CI is working, as you can see here. It needs an improvement, though, since it's using a setup that was nice 4 years ago, but now things have changed :)

I'm happy is helpful!

Ok, I've updated the PR to just add the basic github actions config, since you've addressed the other issues in your own way. Although I still think the custom lint levels will prove to be brittle.

Thanks for unbreaking the default branch! Is there an analysis available of the test failures on Windows?

Thanks :) I will give it a look when I have a bit of free time.

Test failures in Windows seem due to a small stack present in Travis-CI builds, but I'm not sure. I will check it again with GitHub actions.

Looks like this was obsoleted by #29.

Oh! I thought this was forgotten. I'll review my PR and add your changes if still relevant.
