ci(config): bump node-20 actions to node-24 majors across remaining workflows (#2213)

* ci(config): bump node-20 actions to node-24 majors across remaining workflows

Follow-up to #2212. Applies the same Node-24 migration to the remaining
workflows that still carried the "Node.js 20 actions are deprecated"
warnings.

pr.yml:
  checkout@v4, setup-node@v4 -> v6
  setup-java@v4              -> v5
  cache@v4                   -> v5

release-candidate.yml:
  checkout@v4                          -> v6
  upload-artifact@v4 (6 occurrences)   -> v7
  softprops/action-gh-release@v1       -> v3

deploy-ci.yml:
  setup-java@v4 -> v5

docs-verify.yml:
  checkout@v4             -> v6
  pnpm/action-setup@v4    -> v5
  setup-node@v4           -> v6

generate-changelog.yml, version-bump.yml:
  checkout@v4 -> v6

publish-chocolatey.yml:
  checkout@v4        -> v6
  upload-artifact@v4 -> v7

* ci(config): strip FORCE_JAVASCRIPT_ACTIONS_TO_NODE24 escape hatch from pr.yml

Every action in the fast-test job now targets Node 24 natively after the
version bumps in this PR, so the blanket force-flag is dead weight.
Removing it.
