ci: upgrade actions to node24-native versions, release notes from CHANGELOG

- Upgrade all GitHub Actions to node24-native major versions:
  actions/checkout@v6, setup-python@v6, upload-artifact@v7,
  download-artifact@v8, microsoft/setup-msbuild@v3,
  softprops/action-gh-release@v3
- Remove FORCE_JAVASCRIPT_ACTIONS_TO_NODE24 env var (no longer needed)
- Release workflow now extracts the relevant CHANGELOG section as
  the GitHub Release body instead of a static message
- docs: add missing [2.2.0] changelog entry (Linux MinGW-w64 support)
