Add GitHub Action for Ubuntu package build

Introduced a new GitHub workflow to automate the build process for a
Python package on Ubuntu. The workflow triggers on push and pull
requests and includes steps for updating the package list, installing
essentials like git, setting up Python 3.10, and handling dependencies.
It also includes the package installation and a post-install test to
confirm successful import. This automation ensures code integrity with
each update and simplifies the integration process for contributors.
