Run a sanity check before running all jobs

Abort earlier if we cannot compile a simple
configuration on linux.

This is avoiding wasting resources and will come
back earlier on errors. Note that this is adding
the time of an extra runtime job as we are
waiting for the sanity_check workflow before starting
any other jobs.
