This is for 3.0. For 3.1dev, see #2332 .
This PR addresses the bug #2330 by implementing a function which removes control characters from the file output format html,csv,json in the output.
In every instance called there's a check before whether the string contains control chars, hoping it'll save a few milli seconds.
A tr function is used, omitting LF.
It doesn't filter the terminal output and the log file output, yet. It provides a function though which is not being called.
The actions release numbers were taken from the 3.1dev branch.
Note: there was one strange codespell error in PR #2263.
Maybe the updated action will avoid this in the future.
Same as #1921, only for the stable branch
* define deny list of files when modified not to run GHA
* specitfy OS to be ubuntu-20.04 (is there a debian at all?)
* only use perl 5.26
See #1920
