Large test suites can overload GitHub Actions logs, slowing down log browsing in the UI. Add `github-actions-fails` as a quieter formatter that keeps package progress visible while only expanding failed test diagnostics. Package-level failures still promote buffered package output so TestMain and init failures keep their error context. Naming: this is called github-actions-fails to mirror the precedent set by pkgname-and-test-fails. Resolves gotestyourself#543

gotestsum's github-actions formatter writes grouped output for all tests across all packages to the logs. This ends up really slowing down GitHub Actions log browser because of the sheer volume of output. Switch to the github-actions-fails formatter implemented in gotestyourself/gotestsum#568 to fix this. [skip changelog]: no user facing changes
