Create rchk GHA (#6263)

* Create rchk GHA

* fix yaml config

* Add a name, try 'ls'

* plain ls output not shown...

* missing checkout step

* Ensure we're not UNPROTECT()ing 'x'

* Couple shots in the dark...

* more redundancy...for now...

* separate UNPROTECT()?

* incidental: fix test numbering

* attempt

* Revert "attempt"

This reverts commit 51caab5.

* a clean a tempt at PROTECT() inside if

* Revert "a clean a tempt at PROTECT() inside if"

This reverts commit 1784104.

* does it not like consecutive UNPROTECT() calls?

* PROTECT() more in forder+bmerge

* Exclude "results will be incomplete" hits (but always dump output)

* -F everything

* manual revert faulty merge
