ci(github): stop using NodeJS v16 based actions due to deprecation

[petermetz]

No changes other than the mass find & replacing of the GitHub actions
that we use for setting up NodeJS, checking code out and caching.

Address the warnings that started popping up in the CI that look like
this, asking for a mass-upgrade of CI action versions:

Node.js 16 actions are deprecated. Please update the following actions to use Node.js 20:
actions/[email protected],
actions/[email protected],
actions/[email protected]
For more information see:
https://github.blog/changelog/2023-09-22-github-actions-transitioning-from-node-16-to-node-20/.

Fixes #3079

Pull Request Requirements

• Rebased onto upstream/main branch and squashed into single commit to help maintainers review it more efficient and to avoid spaghetti git commit graphs that obfuscate which commit did exactly what change, when and, why.
• Have git sign off at the end of commit message to avoid being marked red. You can add -s flag when using git commit command. You may refer to this link for more information.
• Follow the Commit Linting specification. You may refer to this link for more information.

Character Limit

• Pull Request Title and Commit Subject must not exceed 72 characters (including spaces and special characters).
