[DEVOP-881] github update all action workflows to use actions artifac…

…t v4 plugins

Starting November 30, 2024, workflows using actions/upload-artifact@v3 & actions/download-artifact@v3 will no longer function. The v4 release offers significant performance improvements, including up to 98% faster upload and download speeds, and introduces new features.

The following actions use a deprecated Node.js version and will be forced to run on node20: actions/checkout@v3, actions/setup-node@v3, actions/cache@v3. For more info: https://github.blog/changelog/2024-03-07-github-actions-all-actions-will-run-on-node20-instead-of-node16-by-default/
