Installing a specific version of buildbot is more robust to future changes vs using whatever is packaged for Debian.
BUILDBOT_TEST is sufficiently descriptive (after all, 'buildbot' is the package name and the name of the binary invoked to create a buildmaster) and it's possible upstream may later remove the buildmaster terminology <buildbot/buildbot#5382> or alternatively we might move away from it downstream. As such, it seems prudent to use a name that would be unaffected.
…ength Upstream buildbot releases error if a step name has over 50 characters long <buildbot/buildbot#3414>. UnifiedTreeBuilder can produce quite long step names that violate this, meaning it's difficult to spin up a local test environment (as in <llvm#289>) without local hacks to workaround this. In this patch, we simply truncate step names at creation time. This means llvm-zorg's buildbot config can be used with an unmodified upstream buildbot package.
This provides a stronger check that the buildbot configuration is correct than just running our minimal lit tests.

Stacks on top of the following:
I've renamed the workflow from "lit-tests.yml" to "litmus-tests.yml". The required set of installed dependencies and steps are essentially the same and running the tests and checkconfig takes only a few seconds, so it would seem wasteful to split into independent parallel workflows rather than just running them sequentially.
See here for an example of the action failing (from a run from before I'd cherry-picked #293) https://github.com/asb/llvm-zorg/actions/runs/11766043316/job/32773083955 and of course the run from this PR succeeding in this repo is https://github.com/llvm/llvm-zorg/actions/runs/11766114836/job/32773247437?pr=303
