Subject: [PATCH v3 0/6] ci: GitHub Actions updates (brought to you by Dependabot)

Dependabot (which my voice-typing software frequently mis-translates to "the
panda bot" 😉) is enabled in Git for Windows' fork of the git/git repository
to lighten the maintenance burden a little bit. Frequently, the updates are
not actually for Git for Windows' patches on top of git/git, but apply
directly to git/git.

Here is the latest batch of those updates, with heavily augmented commit
messages.

Changes since v2:

 * Included the version bump for the freshly-updated
   setup-git-for-windows-sdk GitHub Action (which now also requires Node.JS
   24, at long last).

Changes since v1:

 * Also bump mshick/add-pr-comment to the newest major version.

Johannes Schindelin (6):
  ci: bump microsoft/setup-msbuild from v2 to v3
  ci: bump actions/{upload,download}-artifact to v7 and v8
  ci: bump actions/github-script from v8 to v9
  ci: bump actions/checkout from v5 to v6
  ci: bump git-for-windows/setup-git-for-windows-sdk from v1 to v2
  l10n: bump mshick/add-pr-comment from v2 to v3
