About a month ago GitHub made a breaking change to upload-artifact and download-artifact https://github.blog/changelog/2023-12-14-github-actions-artifacts-v4-is-now-generally-available/
TLDR artifacts uploaded with v3 can't be downloaded with v4 and vise-versa.
The flatpak-builder automatically uploads the artifact it builds using v3, because it's still using 1.X.X of https://www.npmjs.com/package/@actions/artifact?activeTab=readme and I ran into this pain-point when trying to migrate our CI across the board PCSX2/pcsx2#10431
This contribution provides a non-breaking migration path for consumers so they can handle the uploading of the artifact themselves and skip the redundant v3 upload. This may be useful for other reasons as well:
This repo should probably migrate to v2 of @actions/artifact eventually, but that would require a major release as it's a breaking change for anyone using v3 to download them -- this isn't something I wanted to get involved with.
