CI: Update all actions

[why]
Because we want to use Node 20 etc pp

[how]
Check for breaking changes and update.

Also replace checkout-files by checkout with sparse-checkout; as they
semselves encourage people to do.

action-gh-release has been updated to Node 20 but has not been released
with the change, so we access the latest version directly by hash.

[note]
Of course this is unchecked... what can ge wrong! 😬
