Deprecations and warnings in `release` job

[MikeMcC399]

Current behavior

When the release job of the workflow .github/workflows/validate.yml runs, the logs show deprecations and warnings:

---

npm warn publish npm auto-corrected some errors in your package.json when publishing. Please run "npm pkg fix" to address these errors.
npm warn publish errors corrected:
npm warn publish "repository.url" was normalized to "git+https://github.com/testing-library/cypress-testing-library.git"

---

Edit: fixed

The set-output command is deprecated and will be disabled soon. Please upgrade to using Environment Files. For more information see: https://github.blog/changelog/2022-10-11-github-actions-deprecating-save-state-and-set-output-commands/

Desired behavior

There should be no deprecations and warnings in the logs of the the release job of the workflow .github/workflows/validate.yml

Suggested resolution

1. Run npm pkg fix and commit fix
2. Update from cycjimmy/semantic-release-action@v2 to cycjimmy/semantic-release-action@v5 (current latest)
3. Update from semantic-release@17 to semantic-release@24 (current latest)
