This PR migrates the continuous integration from AppVeyor to GitHub Actions, providing better cross-platform testing and modern CI capabilities.

Changes Made

🔄 CI Migration

  • Removed: appveyor.yml configuration
  • Added: .github/workflows/ci.yml with comprehensive GitHub Actions workflow
  • Updated: README.md badge from AppVeyor to GitHub Actions

🚀 Improved CI Capabilities

The new GitHub Actions workflow provides two complementary jobs:

1. Header Validation (Cross-platform)

  • Tests on Ubuntu, Windows, and macOS
  • Uses CMake to validate header-only library compilation
  • Ensures portability across different platforms

2. Windows Build Validation

  • Validates Visual Studio project structure
  • Tests all configuration combinations (Debug/Release × x86/x64)
  • Handles platform mapping (x86 → Win32 for MSBuild)
  • Provides clear documentation about WDK requirements for kernel samples

📋 Build Matrix Coverage

  • Platforms: Linux, Windows, macOS (for headers)
  • Configurations: Debug, Release
  • Architectures: x86, x64
  • Build Systems: CMake + MSBuild validation

🎯 Benefits

  • ✅ Better cross-platform testing for the header-only library
  • ✅ Faster feedback with parallel job execution
  • ✅ Modern CI infrastructure with better GitHub integration
  • ✅ Clear separation between header validation and Windows-specific builds
  • ✅ Comprehensive project structure validation

The migration maintains all original AppVeyor functionality while adding cross-platform header testing capabilities, making the CI more robust for this header-only C++ testing framework.

Fixes #17.
