As per suggestion: https://github.com/libusb/hidapi/issues/462#issuecomment-1296360252

To avoid using builds.sr.ht and its limitations of only 4 builds at once
To have all builds in Github Actions only

FYI this docker image approach can be very fast.
Reference: the following is from Arduino avrdude-packing projects which contains six cross builds (as well as two other actions) at one go.

libusb Linux github action also involves using Docker Container for the umockdev test (simulated USB device).

I've checked Github Actions Docker Fedora MingGW build - it is insanly fast, i.e. practivally no time/performance overhead because of the Docker image used.
It looks like Github Actions using some caching for Docker images - it takes only ~ 5-6 seconds to initialize.

The Archlinux takes insignificantly longer to initialize - ~10-11 sec.

Alpine Docker build is even faster than Fedora.
If it wasn't for a bug I hit in musl - it would be so easy to make it work.

Anyways - the 3 PRs complete this story.
