fail ci with codecov error + workflow_dispatch

[wheeheee]

• fail_ci_if_error: true => if the codecov upload errors, CI fails (probably due to secrets / codecov token)
• manually triggering CI is enabled with workflow_dispatch

Following up on #525.
On a side note, Windows on v1.6 is taking up a lot of time on julia-buildpkg.

Yeah, not sure what to do about the 1.6 windows build being so slow. Hopefully we will have a new LTS very soon.

@DilumAluthge Any ideas why 1.6 on windows is so slow and is there any obvious quick thing we can do on the CI side?

[DilumAluthge]

Hmmm. 6 minutes to download the cache, but then 6 more minutes in buildpkg? That's a bit odd. You could try commenting out the caching.

I'm also wondering why the General registry is getting cloned over Git; we should be using the Pkg server instead.

@IanButterworth @omus any ideas on the caching?

[wheeheee]

Just a note that the coverage upload may randomly fail. Maybe Codecov is getting too popular, or v4 teething troubles?

[IanButterworth]

I can't remember the behavior of using the pkgserver on 1.6 but it might not by default on windows?
