From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

The old version we currently use runs in node.js v12.x, which is being
deprecated in GitHub Actions. The new version uses node.js v16.x.

Incidentally, this also avoids the warning about the deprecated
`::set-output::` workflow command because the newer version of the
`github-script` Action uses the recommended new way to specify outputs.

    ci: use a newer github-script version
    
    I had a look at the CI run of seen a couple of weeks ago and saw not
    only quite a number of failures but also quite a number of warnings.
    
    This patch addresses a few of them, including the ones about using the
    deprecated ::set-output:: workflow command
    [https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/actions/runs/3412982102/jobs/5679166059#step:4:46].
    
    Similar warnings will be addressed by
    od/ci-use-checkout-v3-when-applicable.

Thanks for working on this.

I also appreciate you taking a more minimal approach by avoiding
touching the explicit "echo ::set-output::"'s throughout the workflow
definition, since there is other work going on there.

So let's merge this one down, let the dust settle on the other topic,
and then come back and remove the remaining ::set-output::'s later on.


Thanks,
Taylor
