gh: daily validation of the ELL compatibility (#308)

* gh: daily validation of the ELL compatibility

We recently had some issues because the ELL API has been broken without
notice.

Simply adding a cron to run the tests once a day during the week should
tell us when an incompatible change has been introduced on ELL side, so
we can get a bit of time to prepare a fix and a new release.

* gh: switch to checkout v4

The previous version is deprecated, each job gets this warning:

  The following actions uses node12 which is deprecated and will be
  forced to run on node16: actions/checkout@v2. For more info:
  https://github.blog/changelog/2023-06-13-github-actions-all-actions-will-run-on-node16-instead-of-node12-by-default/

No further changes needed: we use the public runners with ubuntu-latest.

* gh: coveralls: switch to v2

The previous version is deprecated, each job using it gets this warning:

  The following actions uses a deprecated Node.js version and will be
  forced to run on node20: coverallsapp/github-action@master. For more
  info: https://github.blog/changelog/2024-03-07-github-actions-all-actions-will-run-on-node20-instead-of-node16-by-default/

We just have to use 'file' instead of 'path-to-lcov' which is
deprecated. No further changes needed: we use the public runners with
ubuntu-latest.
