Don't they have an actions@current so you can stay current and risk having a build break the other way? Seems less likely; I would be surprised if they do not. |

There's no need for it at the moment, but we might need it in the future when GHA breaks |
…rors. GitHub actions/checkout@v3 is no longer working and v4 is incompatible with older Linux versions due to actions/checkout#1590. To fix this, and permanently eliminate the issue of periodic deprecation of actions/checkout, replace it with manual downloads of git snapshots using curl. Additionally, fixed apt command lines that would incorrectly expand the list of packages to install. Added options to retry on network errors to reduce the probability of spurious CI failures. Also added git checkout parallel jobs to potentially speed up the checkout. This should fix CI failures with actions/checkout@v3 and eliminate GHA deprecation warnings.
