[feat req] v4: add option to disable the 10 artifacts per job limit

[database64128]

What would you like to be added?

An option to remove the limit and restore the old behavior (before v4).

Why is this needed?

I have a workflow that needs to upload 24 artifacts in a single job. It is not possible to split the workflow into multiple jobs.

Is there any documentation or explanation for why this limit was added in the first place?

Would be useful. we have a build that outputs 15 that caught us out when we tried to upgrade to v4. For anyone else in the same situation you can do a mix to take advantage of the speed gain - pick your 10 largest artifacts in that job and output them using v4, and use v3 for the others.

👋 The limit has been raised to 500 Artifacts per job.

We chose to introduce a limit to avoid abuse scenarios. We did some data analysis, the 10 artifacts limit covered covered ~93% of all the workflow runs on GitHub.

We decided to raise it to 500 to avoid any friction without risk of abuse. Having 500 per job covers 99.99% of runs on GitHub.

Thanks. 500 sounds like a reasonable limit.
