Subject: [PATCH] GitHub workflow: automatically follow minor updates of setup-msbuild

It is the custom to follow minor updates of GitHub Actions
automatically, by using the suffix `@v1`. Actions' maintainers will then
update that `v1` ref to point to the newest.

However, for `microsoft/setup-msbuild`, 889cacb6897 (ci: configure
GitHub Actions for CI/PR, 2020-04-11) uses a very specific [email-masked]`
suffix.

In this instance, that is a problem: should `setup-msbuild` release a
new version that intends to fix a critical bug, we won't know it, and we
won't use it.

Such a scenario is not theoretical. It is happening right now:
https://github.blog/changelog/2020-10-01-github-actions-deprecating-set-env-and-add-path-commands

Let's simplify our setup, allowing us to benefit from automatically
using the newest v1.x.

    GitHub workflow: automatically follow minor updates of setup-msbuild
    
    This patch was based on dd/ci-swap-azure-pipelines-with-github-actions,
    but due to changes outside of Git, that GitHub workflow does not even
    begin to work anymore. Therefore, the patch is now actually based on 
    master.
