ci: use treeless clone instead of actions/checkout
Summary:

- [use treeless fetches instead of `--depth`](https://github.blog/2020-12-21-get-up-to-speed-with-partial-clone-and-shallow-clone/)
  - this is not supported by `actions/checkout`, so it was implemented as a short script (staying with `actions/checkout@v1` does not seem like a good idea because of its age, and updating to `actions/checkout@v3` would require adding `libstdc++` to any CI workflows that run in void containers because of node's requirements)
- This applies to the build and cycles CI workflows, and some additional cleanups were applied to the cycles workflow
  - it can't be implemented as a script in `common/travis/` because the repo doesn't exist on the runner (yet!)
- `changed_templates.sh` had a small logic change, because we now have the complete commit history instead of just `--depth=200`. This preserves the 200 commit limit with a slightly-enhanced error message (wording clarified and it now shows up as an error annotation)
- `fetch_upstream.sh` is no longer needed now that the checkout script fetches the entire commit history of master and the PR branch
