As well as removing the explicit shell setting d8b21a0fe2 (CI: don't
explicitly pick "bash" shell outside of Windows, fix regression,
2022-12-07) also reverted the name of the print test failures step
introduced by 5aeb145780f (ci(github): bring back the 'print test
failures' step, 2022-06-08). This is unfortunate as 5aeb145780f added a
message to direct contributors to the "print test failures" step when a
test fails and that step is no-longer known by that name on the
non-windows ci jobs.
In principle we could update the message to print the correct name for
the step but then we'd have to deal with having two different names for
the same step on different jobs. It is simpler for the implementation
and contributors to use the same name for this step on all jobs.

ci(github): restore "print test failures" step name
Ævar seems to think the name change in 5aeb145780f was unintentional [1]
but looking at the original commit I don't think that's the case.

Reading it again I think you're right, i.e. that the migration of
everything to "bash" was unintentional & a result of copy/pasting, but
the initial goal was to mention the "print test failures" step....

...but as far as moving forward, why make every other job be
inconsistent in naming this one step, rather than just making the
Windows ones consistent with rest?
I.e. why not:

cat "t/test-results/$test_name.markup"
The implicit argument being made here & in the original 5aeb145780f is
that it's a good thing to give explicit "names"'s to all of these steps.
For some of the steps I agree, e.g. "test" is probably better than
". /etc/profile && ci/run-test-slice.sh ${{matrix.nr}} 10" or whatever,
and e.g. "generate Visual Studio solution" is definitely better than
some multi-line shellscript (I'm not sure how the UX would even turn
that into a collapsible title).
But in the case of "ci/print-test-failures.sh",
"ci/run-build-and-tests.sh", "ci/install-dependencies.sh" etc. the
script name is already self-descriptive, so giving it a name just serves
to obscure the connection between the step & the script implementing it,
which is otherwise immediately apparent.
So I think it's better to just remove the "name" label in those cases
where the Windows jobs can use such a script, which we're already not
naming in the *nix jobs.
It's a minor point either way, and your change would also be an
improvement. I just think it's better to aim for e.g. this snippet (from
the current main.yml):
- run: ci/install-docker-dependencies.sh
- run: ci/run-build-and-tests.sh
- run: ci/print-test-failures.sh
Rather than providing "name" fields for them all, and doubling the line
count for no apparent (at least to me) reason.
