THRIFT-5564: add GitHub action for python 2.x and 3.x

[jimexist]

• based on and closes THRIFT-5564: setup rust building in GitHub action #2594

• Did you create an Apache Jira ticket? (not required for trivial changes)
• If a ticket exists: Does your pull request title follow the pattern "THRIFT-NNNN: describe my issue"?
• Did you squash your changes to a single commit? (not required, but preferred)
• Did you do your best to avoid breaking changes? If one was needed, did you label the Jira ticket with "Breaking-Change"?
• If your change does not involve any code, include [skip ci] anywhere in the commit message to free up build resources.

before merging

• THRIFT-5537: Remove python2 #2588

@fishy do you want to have a look at this? this might help my work on #2588 as well

this seems unrelated to what the pr title/description says it does? but since the jira ticket itself covers all languages I don't really see this as a problem :)

[jimexist]

yes it's actually based on:

• THRIFT-5564: setup rust building in GitHub action #2594

but i think we can merge in one pass as well

should we also make this part of the matrix? my understanding is that this is not the only version of ubuntu we want to support.

[jimexist]

i'm adding matrix to the compiler part but for python i think it's okay to have just one - given how libraries and compilers are in many cases compiled, installed, and used separately. the matrix should be focusing on multiple python versions for this part.

[fishy]

does this run the unit tests or does it only make sure that the code builds?

thanks - i added the check below
