ci: add GitHub Actions workflow for Rust build and tests

This commit introduces a new GitHub Actions workflow to automate the
Rust build and testing process. The workflow triggers on pushes and pull
requests to the "main" branch. It ensures that the Rust project is built
and all tests are run using the latest Ubuntu environment.

This automation improves the CI pipeline by catching build or test
issues early during development.
