v4.0.0

What's Changed

In the scope of this release, the version of the Node.js runtime was updated to 20. The majority of dependencies were updated to the latest versions. From now on, the code for the setup-dotnet will run on Node.js 20 instead of Node.js 16.

Breaking changes

• Update Node.js runtime to version 20 by @HarithaVattikuti in #484
• Sequential version install fix by @nikolai-laevskii in #433
  In setup-dotnet@v3, the dotnet executable was overwritten during each action run, sometimes leading to failures if the executable was still in use. This issue was resolved in setup-dotnet@v4 by introducing an additional install-script run that installs the LTS version of the dotnet executable and utilizes it for all subsequent dotnet installations. The actual download is performed only once per workflow by the initial install-script run. To use older versions, utilize global.json. For more details, refer to the documentation.
