Float first-party actions on majors, pin third-party by release SHA - #8

Conversation
Aligns this package's GitHub Actions references with the org convention: float first-party actions on their major tag, pin third-party actions to a commit SHA, and keep both on the latest release. - First-party actions (`actions/*`, `github/*`) move off commit SHAs onto their current major tag. Every SHA replaced resolves to the tip of the major it now floats on, so the resolved commit is unchanged today and security patches arrive on their own from here. Pinning GitHub's own actions inside GitHub's own runner buys nothing and holds back patches. - Third-party actions stay pinned to a commit SHA, because a git tag is mutable and the action's owner can rewrite it. Each pin's comment now names the immutable release (`# 2.37.2`) rather than a mutable major tag (`# v2`) -- a comment naming a moving tag cannot tell you whether the pin is stale. 1 workflow file(s), 3 reference(s). Distinct transitions: - `actions/cache@55cc8345863c7cc4c66a329aec7e433d2d1c52a9` -> `actions/cache@v6` - `actions/checkout@3d3c42e5aac5ba805825da76410c181273ba90b1` -> `actions/checkout@v7` - `shivammathur/setup-php@f3e473d116dcccaddc5834248c87452386958240` -> `shivammathur/setup-php@f3e473d116dcccaddc5834248c87452386958240 # 2.37.2`
