Add GitHub actions

[cjrace]

Added two GitHub actions files:

1. Standard package checks

This was done using usethis::use_github_action("check-standard"), and adds R CMD checks against a number of operating systems for the package.

This added a status badge to the readme too as a bonus 🦡

Have set to run against all pushes and PRs to main/master (default) and also any PRs to our working branches (development / update-to-gds-v5.4).

More information on these checks can be found at - https://r-pkgs.org/r-cmd-check.html. Effectively it's similar to running devtools::check() locally.

2. Build pkgdown site

Realised the current docs aren't hosted anywhere, so added a workflow that we can test when we do merge to main to add in the documentation onto a github pages site.

You can preview the site using devtools::build_site() though be aware it generates a bunch of updates to files in the docs/ folder. Try to avoid committing any of these, as ultimately we want to ignore them. I've raised #80 for me to remember to check this and do clean up of the Git history afterwards, which will stop this happening in the long run.

Cheers Cam this is really cool! Didn't know it was so simple to have the pkgdown site build from the documentation - also yay for badges (and zooming in like 200x to find that it was a badger and not a mole emoji)

I'll assign the rest of the issues in our checklist once you've merged in :)
