ci: Use GITHUB_OUTPUT envvar instead of set-output command

`save-state` and `set-output` commands used in GitHub Actions are deprecated and [GitHub recommends using environment files](https://github.blog/changelog/2023-07-24-github-actions-update-on-save-state-and-set-output-commands/).

This PR updates the usage of `::set-output` to `"$GITHUB_OUTPUT"`

Instructions for envvar usage from GitHub docs:
