Bumps actions/download-artifact from 7 to 8.

Release notes

Sourced from actions/download-artifact's releases.

v8.0.0

v8 - What's new

[!IMPORTANT] actions/download-artifact@v8 has been migrated to an ESM module. This should be transparent to the caller but forks might need to make significant changes.

[!IMPORTANT] Hash mismatches will now error by default. Users can override this behavior with a setting change (see below).

Direct downloads

To support direct uploads in actions/upload-artifact, the action will no longer attempt to unzip all downloaded files. Instead, the action checks the Content-Type header ahead of unzipping and skips non-zipped files. Callers wishing to download a zipped file as-is can also set the new skip-decompress parameter to true.

Enforced checks (breaking)

A previous release introduced digest checks on the download. If a download hash didn't match the expected hash from the server, the action would log a warning. Callers can now configure the behavior on mismatch with the digest-mismatch parameter. To be secure by default, we are now defaulting the behavior to error which will fail the workflow run.

ESM

To support new versions of the @actions/* packages, we've upgraded the package to ESM.

A Go tool that lists official OS installers, downloads them over parallel
resumable connections, and verifies that what landed on disk is genuinely the
vendor's file.

Providers
- macOS: Apple's Software Update catalog, all four channels; pkgutil must
  report an Apple Root CA chain or the file is quarantined
- Debian: cdimage.debian.org, SHA-256 from the published SHA256SUMS as a hard
  gate, Debian's own mirror list with a measured "fastest" option
- Windows: registered, not implemented yet

Download engine
- byte-range chunks across up to 16 connections, written straight to their
  offsets; memory is one 256 KiB buffer per connection
- resume through a sidecar that records each chunk, invalidated when the
  remote ETag, size or modification time moves
- mirror probing, failover on definitive errors, per-host connection limits,
  stall detection and retry with backoff

Interface
- Bubble Tea picker: per-OS menus (facets), search, back/forward history,
  one line per connection, and a shareable command for every download
- cobra CLI: list, download, url, with --filter, --mirror and --verbose

CI builds and tests on Linux, macOS and Windows, cross-builds every shipped
target, and releases binaries for linux/amd64, linux/arm64, windows/amd64,
windows/arm64 and darwin/arm64.

OK, I won't notify you again about this release, but will get in touch when a new version is available. If you'd rather skip all updates until the next major or minor version, let me know by commenting @dependabot ignore this major version or @dependabot ignore this minor version. You can also ignore all major, minor, or patch releases for a dependency by adding an ignore condition with the desired update_types to your config file.

If you change your mind, just re-open this PR and I'll resolve any conflicts on it.
