Improve the GitHub Actions to reduce significant duplication in workflow files about globalfoundries-pdk-libs-gf180mcu_fd_pr HOT 4 CLOSED

@umarcor - Can you help the @mabrains team understand how to do this?

@mithro I think this may not work. From GitHub themselves in https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-jobs/using-a-matrix-for-your-jobs are saying you can use a matrix strategy to test your code in multiple versions of a language or on multiple operating systems.
Also, running multiple DRC/LVS checks in the same job in parallel may crash due to the capability of GitHub Actions hosted runners in https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-github-hosted-runners/about-github-hosted-runners:

Hardware specification for Windows and Linux virtual machines:

    2-core CPU (x86_64)
    7 GB of RAM
    14 GB of SSD space

So I assume "matrix" won't fix this issue.

@mohanad0mohamed the matrix does not run multiple tasks on the same job, it generates multiple jobs in parallel. See #18.

@umarcor I'm amazed how "matrix" removed all duplicated jobs!
Now I understand how it works. Many thanks.
