Update workflow actions for Node 24

[FlorianPfaff]

Summary

• Update actions/upload-artifact from v4 to v7 in the dry-run release-notes artifact upload step.
• Update peter-evans/create-pull-request from v7 to v8 in the MegaLinter and requirements workflows.
• Update stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action from v5 to v7 in the MegaLinter and requirements workflows.

Why

GitHub Actions is deprecating JavaScript actions that run on Node.js 20. The updated action major versions declare runs.using: node24 in their action metadata.

Impact

This removes the Node.js 20 runtime deprecation exposure from the affected workflow steps without changing their configuration, artifact names, branches, labels, or commit settings.

Validation

• Ran git diff --check.
• Verified actions/upload-artifact@v7, peter-evans/create-pull-request@v8, and stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action@v7 all declare runs.using: node24.
• Confirmed remaining actions/upload-artifact@v6 references already use Node 24 and were intentionally left unchanged.
