fafcd2e9ef1209d614de5763a2733098537919dd ci: Add test-each-commit task (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

  Currently, if a pull request has more than one commit, previous commits may fail to compile, or may fail the tests. This is problematic, because it breaks git-bisect, or worse.

  Fix this by adding a CI task for this.
