Stable job names (don't include versions)

[koterpillar]

Currently the workflow jobs created by this plugin have some parts of the build environment appended to the name, e.g.

Build and Test (ubuntu-latest, 2.13.6, [email protected])

GitHub lets me specify that the jobs must succeed in order to merge a PR - by name:

However, if a PR changes the Scala or Java version it will be problematic to merge without disabling the rule.

In fact, I don't think I'm in control of the Java version or the "ubuntu-latest" part either.

I'd like to have an option to only have the critical pieces of environment (e.g. "Scala 2.13") in the job name, and omit everything else.

This is also a problem with Mergify integrations. I'm not sure there's a way to do explicitly control the job names though. The parentheticals are auto-generated by GitHub Actions matrix support.

Indeed, I see it in the generated file.

At least for GitHub Actions, I've found some workarounds - something like build_all can be implemented here.
