FWIW, I don't think it's a good idea to the Auto bit to the name. We have
several special things about various tests, if we add all of them to the task
name, we'll have very long task names. This one would already be
Linux - Debian Bookworm - Meson Auto Features Detection - 32 and 64 Bit build & tests - Alignment, Undefined Behaviour
Sanitizer- IO method=io_uring
And the task names would change a lot more, which is also a pain for things
like the commitfest / cfbot web apps.
But it *should* be added to the "SPECIAL:" comment.
