<!-- Describe your changes here in detail -->

<!-- Why is this change required? What problem does it solve? -->
Running the containers explicitly, instead of using the declarative
`container:` feature of GH Actions gives us more control:
- we can create more space on the host if necessary; we just scraped by
an out of space condition in sagemath#36473 /
sagemath#36469 (comment)
- we can run some operations outside of the container but in the same
job; this will make the separate "Get CI fixes" jobs unnecessary,
addressing the cosmetic concerns from
sagemath#36338 (comment),
sagemath#36349
- it enables caching between the various workflows (as first discussed
in sagemath#36446).

We split out static type checking with pyright into its separate
workflow:
- **pyright.yml**: As static checking does not need  a build of the Sage
library, for PRs that do not make any changes to packages, there's
nothing to build, and the workflow gives a fast turnaround just after 10
minutes. For applying the CI fixes from blocker tickets, this workflow
uses the technique favored in sagemath#36349.

The workflow **build.yml** first launches a job:
- **test-new:** It builds incrementally (using a tox-generated
`Dockerfile` and https://github.com/marketplace/actions/build-and-push-
docker-images) and does the quick incremental test. This completes
within 10 to 20 minutes when there's no change.

After this is completed, more jobs are launched:
- **test-mod:** It again builds incrementally and tests a modularized
distribution. Later (with more from sagemath#35095), more jobs will be added to
this matrix job for other distributions.
- **test-long:** It again builds incrementally and runs the long test.

The workflows **doc-build.yml** and **doc-build-pdf.yml** again build
incrementally and then build the documentation. The diffing code for the
HTML documentation now runs in the host, not the container, which
simplifies things. (To show that diffing still works, we include a small
change to the Sage library.)

Splitting the workflow jobs implements @kwankyu's  suggestion from:
- sagemath#35652 (comment)
(Fixes sagemath#35814)

The steps "again builds incrementally" actually use the GH Actions
cache, https://docs.docker.com/build/ci/github-actions/cache/#cache-
backend-api. When nothing is cached and the 3 workflows are launched in
parallel, they may each build the same thing. But when there's
congestion that leads to the workflows to be run serially, the 2nd and
3rd workflow will be able to use the cache from the 1st workflow. This
elasticity may be helpful in reducing congestion.

There is a rather small per-project limit of 10 GB for this cache, so
we'll have to see how effectively caching works in practice. See
https://github.com/sagemath/sage/actions/caches
