Deprecating save-state and set-output commands

[tomschr]

Problem

Our GitHub Actions uses sometimes echos like this:

- name: Save state
  run: echo "::save-state name={name}::{value}"

- name: Set output
  run: echo "::set-output name={name}::{value}" 

However, GitHub's blog recommends to replace it with this:

Expected solution

The blog recommends to replace it with:

- name: Save state
  run: echo "{name}={value}" >> $GITHUB_STATE

- name: Set output
  run: echo "{name}={value}" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT
