upload-artifact@v4 - cant upload same named artifact multiple times

[garethahealy]

v4 introduces a breaking change that fails for this workflow:

• https://github.com/actions/upload-artifact?tab=readme-ov-file#breaking-changes

problematic line:

• https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Aredhat-cop%2Fgithub-workflows-operators+%22Upload+Dist%22&type=code

and download@v4 doesn't support upload@v3:

• https://github.com/actions/download-artifact?tab=readme-ov-file#breaking-changes

@sabre1041 @raffaelespazzoli ; thoughts on what to do?

[sabre1041]

@garethahealy the key question that I have offhand (that we can determine through testing), is whether the existing functionality of merging content that is added incrementally through the pipeline progression is supported when downloading artifacts.

Right now, we incrementally update the contents of the dist artifact as we progress through the pipeline. as long as we separate them out and ensure that we can recombine them at the end so that they will be captured as part of the release process, that should work out just fine

After 30th Nov, these actions still stop working due to v3 of upload/download
