Start ClamAV Daemon GitHub Action

This GitHub action starts a lightweight ClamAV daemon. For now, clamd only loads the bytecode.cvd database. It works on Linux, macOS, and Windows runners.

On Linux and macOS, clamd listens on TCP port 3310 and the Unix socket at /tmp/clamd.socket. On Windows, clamd listens on TCP port 3310.
