Please switch from setup-ghdl-ci to setup-ghdl

[Paebbels]

Caution

This GitHub Action (setup-ghdl-ci) has been deprecated in favor of the new setup-ghdl Action.
Please update your YAML files and transition to the new GitHub Action. See the linked repository for details on optional parameters.

Quick example:

jobs:
  GHDL-on-Ubuntu:
    runs-on: ubuntu-24.04
    steps:
      - name: Run VHDL Simulation
        uses: ghdl/setup-ghdl@v1
        with:
          version: nightly
          backend: mcode

Why has it been changed?

• The Javascript GitHub Action is hard to maintain.
  In addition, it has a high complexity with Node.js and other tools compare to a much simpler Composite Action using simple shell instructions in Bash/Powershell.
• This action doesn't support the ubuntu-24.04 (= ubuntu-latest) runner image.
• This Action uses wrong tagging to select GHDL versions. See analysis: Broken setup-ghdl-ci GitHub Action ghdl/ghdl#2852
• Due to changes in GHDL's nightly releases and attached assets, the filenames are broken.
