This patch replaces fswatch with inotifywait from inotify-toools:
https://github.com/inotify-tools/inotify-tools
fswatch takes ~1min to set up recursively for the Samba source code
directory. inotifywait needs less than a second to do the same thing.

Also it fswatch seems to be unmaintained in the meantime.

Python 3.12+ throws an error if you try to install a package in an
externally managed environment. Using `--break-system-packages` is not
recommended for personal use, but for CI it should be fine and is
probably the most straightforward solution.
Problem:
vim._watch.watchdirs has terrible performance.
Solution:
- On linux use fswatch as a watcher backend if available.
- Add File watcher section to health:vim.lsp. Warn if watchfunc is
libuv-poll.
Problem: No tests for the termdebug plugin
Solution: Add some simple tests for the termdebug plugin

Problem: No support for writing extended attributes
Solution: Add extended attribute support for linux
It's been a long standing issue, that if you write a file with extended
attributes and backupcopy is set to no, the file will loose the extended
attributes.
So this patch adds support for retrieving the extended attributes and
copying it to the new file. It currently only works on linux, mainly
because I don't know the different APIs for other systems (BSD, MacOSX and
Solaris). On linux, this should be supported since Kernel 2.4 or
something, so this should be pretty safe to use now.
Enable the extended attribute support with normal builds.
I also added it explicitly to the :version output as well as make it
able to check using `:echo has("xattr")`, to have users easily check
that this is available.
In contrast to the similar support for SELINUX and SMACK support (which
also internally uses extended attributes), I have made this a FEAT_XATTR
define, instead of the similar HAVE_XATTR.
Add a test and change CI to include relevant packages so that CI can
test that extended attributes are correctly written.

This will fix the failing release job.
Ubuntu 18.04 is incompatible with checkout action version 4, which
requires glibc 2.28+. This will bump the minimum glibc version required
to use the release versions to 2.31. People requring the older releases
can find them at https://github.com/neovim/neovim-releases.
libtool, autoconf, automake and perl are no longer dependencies of
neovim and doesn't need to be installed in CI anymore. The dependencies
and the commit that removed them as dependencies are the following:
libtool: b05100a9ea
perl: 20a932cb72
autoconf+automake: e23c5fda0a
