In general, we'd like to make sure Git works on the LTS versions of major Linux distributions. To do that, let's add CI jobs for the oldest regular (non-extended) LTS versions of the major distributions: Ubuntu 20.04, Debian 11, and RHEL 8. Because RHEL isn't available to the public at no charge, use AlmaLinux, which is binary compatible with it. Note that Debian does not offer the language-pack packages, but suitable locale support can be installed with the locales-all package. Otherwise, use the set of installation instructions which exist and are most similar to the existing supported distros.
