Hans Ulrich Niedermann c677974137 ci: Where possible, dryrun tests on uninstalled avrdude ...

This tries running the uninstalled avrdude executable, both
with -? and for test-avrdude.

Tests on installed avrdude are kept where they exist,
but not added for all possible platforms.

Quick table showing

  * -? testing of built avrdude (print the usage)
  * dryrun testing of built avrdude before installation
  * installation of avrdude
  * dryrun testing of installed avrdude

and whether that happens/succeeds/fails:

                              run    test              test
                               -?    built   install   installed

 # Only on i386, as the armhf and arm64 executables are not runnable
   on the ubuntu-latest x86_64 worker.

 * Works on x86 and x64. Skipped on arm64 at this time.

   The arm64 executable is not runnable, possibly due to the
   old problem of an exe being built for the wrong architecture
   (which @mcuee mentioned somewhere).

In summary, this should run as much as is possible at this time
without introducing failures.

In the future, after these failures are fixed, more tests can be
added for a more complete coverage.
