Permission denied when creating symlinks on macOS self-hosted runners

[AttilaT]

Description:

Problem

setup-python fails on self-hosted macOS EC2 runners with:

Error: ln: python314: Permission denied

The setup.sh installer script uses sudo to install the Python framework into /Library/Frameworks/ (line 50), but the subsequent symlink creation inside that root-owned directory runs without sudo, causing a permission error on runners where the CI user is not an admin.
