Add apt-install action#60

Vendors a copy of https://github.com/eth-pkg/apt-deb-cache taken as of commit fd375b6. Invoking `apt-get` directly every run can sometimes be very, very slow depending on the runner. This uses `apt-get` to download `.deb` files upon a cache miss, then installs and caches them. I tested it out on this PR: RustCrypto/crypto-bigint#1289 Package install was about twice as fast even uncached.

I extracted these out from the script to make yamllint line length restrictions happy. It should work, I think?

We use this everywhere else as the rustfmt default. Seems ok here

Interesting. I can not say I fully understand the job, but it looks fine on the first glance.
Since we primarily use it for gcc-multilib, another (potentially simpler) alternative could be to use a container image with pre-installed gcc-multilib.
