Update GitHub actions workflows to switch from node 16 to node 20

Describe the Task

As of January 24, 2024, the following warning messages began appearing on the MET GitHub action workflow runs:

[Build Documentation](https://github.com/dtcenter/MET/actions/runs/7642630271/job/20822701483)
Node.js 16 actions are deprecated. Please update the following actions to use Node.js 20: actions/checkout@v3, actions/setup-python@v4, actions/upload-artifact@v3. For more information see: https://github.blog/changelog/2023-09-22-github-actions-transitioning-from-node-16-to-node-20/.

Our call to actions/checkout@v3 triggers this warning message, as do other similar actions. Recommend upgrading action version numbers as needed to move past this warning. Make these change in both the develop and main_v11.1 branches.

Can use the following commands to update:

cd .github/workflows
for file in `ls *.yml`; do 
  cat $file | \
  sed 's%actions/checkout@v3%actions/checkout@v4%g' | \
  sed 's%actions/upload-artifact@v3%actions/upload-artifact@v4%g' | \
  sed 's%actions/download-artifact@v3%actions/download-artifact@v4%g' | \
  sed 's%actions/setup-python@v4%actions/setup-python@v5%g' | \
  sed 's%actions/github-script@v6%actions/github-script@v7%g' > tmp;
  mv tmp $file;
done

To also capture the yaml files run this:

cd .github/workflows
for file in `ls *.yaml`; do 
  cat $file | \
  sed 's%actions/checkout@v3%actions/checkout@v4%g' | \
  sed 's%actions/upload-artifact@v3%actions/upload-artifact@v4%g' | \
  sed 's%actions/download-artifact@v3%actions/download-artifact@v4%g' | \
  sed 's%actions/setup-python@v4%actions/setup-python@v5%g' | \
  sed 's%actions/github-script@v6%actions/github-script@v7%g' > tmp;
  mv tmp $file;
done

Time Estimate

2 hours.
