ci: Add olddeps job to old versions of dependencies

The CI job currently just tests old Cap'n Proto versions, but it might be nice
to extend in the future to test old compilers & build tools too.

Support for versions of Cap'n Proto before 0.7.0 was dropped in
#88 in order to avoid
compiler warnings and simplify code. Before that, versions back to 0.5 were
supported and are basically still compatible since the Cap'n Proto API hasn't
changed and libmultiprocess does not rely on newer features.
