Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Replace the Azure pipeline with a GitHub Actions build

Builds and tests the template solution in Release on windows-latest, builds
the renamer tool, and drops azure-pipelines.yml. The Azure DevOps project
behind the old pipeline is gone.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Keep the SQL Server-backed web tests out of CI

The two WebTests examples boot the app through WebApplicationFactory and
