Everything since 3.5.2 (see #3301) can use it;
it's now present in all non-EOL MacOS XCode versions

It turns out, macos-14 has XCode 15 rather than 16 as advertised in Github docs

ubuntu-20.04 is being retired by Github
tar_gz is mainly to verify URLs, OS version doesn't matter

Now that ubuntu-24 is out of beta at Github

Since for ubuntu_build, we only use one OS version
and the changes between versions are not as drastic as with MacOS,
it seems safe to have it upgrade automatically.

Only CPython scripts use bundled dependencies for MacOS and two alternative tarballs

`::set-output` is deprecated as per https://github.blog/changelog/2022-10-11-github-actions-deprecating-save-state-and-set-output-commands/

Github has finally released those as free and retired macos-11

since we're only interested in the output when something goes wrong
