chore: update release workflow actions

[marandaneto]

💡 Motivation and Context

GitHub Actions warned that the release workflow was still targeting Node.js 20 for actions/upload-artifact and actions/download-artifact, forcing them onto Node.js 24 at runtime.

This updates the release workflow to the latest available action versions while keeping every uses: reference SHA-pinned.

💚 How did you test it?

• Parsed .github/workflows/release.yml with PyYAML.
• Verified every uses: reference is pinned to a 40-character SHA.
• Verified the old artifact action SHAs from the warning are no longer referenced.

📝 Checklist

• I reviewed the submitted code.
• I added tests to verify the changes.
• I updated the docs if needed.
• No breaking change or entry added to the changelog.

If releasing new changes

• Ran pnpm changeset to generate a changeset file

🤖 Agent context

Autonomy: Human-driven (agent-assisted)

Updated the release workflow action pins based on the GitHub Actions Node.js 20 deprecation warning from the referenced release run. The chosen approach keeps SHA pinning for security while moving each action to the current latest version/commit available at the time of the update.
