CI: Add CI build on Debian stretch to test old support
This version still has ELTS support and contains some old versions of
key components like cmake to help prevent us from breaking that support.

+# Compile on an old version of Linux that has barely the minimal build
+# requirements for CMake.
+# Debian stretch is chosen as it closely matches some of the oldest major
+# versions we support (especially cmake); see docs/INTERNALS.md.
+# stretch has ELTS support from Feexian until 2027-06-30
+# For ELTS info see https://www.freexian.com/lts/extended/docs/how-to-use-extended-lts/
+# The Debian key will expire 2025-05-20, after which package signature
+# verification may need to be disabled.
+# httrack is one of the smallest downloaders, needed to bootstrap ELTS,
+# and won't conflict with the curl we're building.
