Simplify caching
Follow on from #783 (review).
https://github.com/actions/setup-python now has pip caching built in so let's remove the whole
actions/cachestep here. It usesrequirements.txtas the key by default.Docs: https://github.com/actions/setup-python#caching-packages-dependencies
Enable build button
Also, add
workflow_dispatch, which adds a button to the GitHub Actions UI to let you trigger builds. This is something Travis CI has built in, and is fairly new to GHA and needs enabling.Docs: https://github.blog/changelog/2020-07-06-github-actions-manual-triggers-with-workflow_dispatch/
Add colour
Finally, GitHub Actions isn't a tty so tools such as sphinx-build that autodetect don't show the output in colour. So let's add
--colorto turn it on, especially useful for the link check. And let's show the docs build output too, useful for debugging failures (and now in colour!).
