The problem with the MrOctopus/download-asset-action action (MrOctopus/download-asset-action#8) that caused the CI failures at the time the PR was submitted has been fixed (MrOctopus/download-asset-action@d66a497), but the fact that a fundamentally broken release was made in the first place (indicating there is no validation/quality control of the action whatsoever), and then the way the fix was deployed (by moving the existing 1.1 tag instead of making a new tag) tells me that we should try to migrate away from using MrOctopus/download-asset-action if possible.

Starting from version 2.0.0, the editorconfig-checker/action-editorconfig-checker action now acts as an installer for the editorconfig-checker tool (similar to how the actions/setup-* actions work). This means it can serve as a replacement for the MrOctopus/download-asset-action action in this specific application of installing editorconfig-checker.

An alternative approach to installation would be using go install (which was not available for use at the time the template was written). This is an officially supported installation method for the tool:
https://github.com/mvdan/sh#shfmt
My personal preference would be to use that installation approach in combination with a dummy "tools" Go package, which would allow controlled bumps of the tool dependency via automated Dependabot PRs. However, we could also just use go install mvdan.cc/sh/v3/cmd/shfmt@latest to get simple uncontrolled installation as is done with the current approach.

An alternative approach to installation would be APT, which is an officially supported installation method:
https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck#installing
However, the version in the Ubuntu 22.04 package repository is outdated:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jammy/+source/shellcheck
So I think that is an unsuitable method.
The Snap package is another officially supported installation method, and the package is up to date:
https://snapcraft.io/shellcheck
So I think this would be the best alternative to the current release binary download installation method.
