A GitHub action for running Django tests

dev

Spent a weird amount of time on this. Turns out I had it right immediately but I for some reason had added my migrations to .gitignore.

I think I did this because I didn't want to commit a bunch of WIP migrations when stuff was being recreated from scratch every month or two when I got back to this side project. Mental note for the future - probably not a wise practice.

Anyway here it is - could certainly refactor the variable names to reduce some duplication, but I think you get the idea.
