Nightly builds are not the current master branch 😭 about micro HOT 3 CLOSED

In #3284 (comment) I already pointed out to move/convert the nightly creation into a GitHub action, which we could maintain too.
The current approach doesn't seem to be reliable enough.

I've checked that it is indeed stuck at 1f51d0b. I've downloaded micro-2.0.14-dev.181-linux64.tar.gz
and it says it is built from 1f51d0b:

% ./micro -version
Version: 2.0.14-dev.181
Commit hash: 1f51d0b9
Compiled on June 07, 2024

and indeed, it doesn't include changes added after 1f51d0b, for example sub-word cursor movements (#2665): trying to run bind Alt-Left SubWordLeft results in Error in bindings: action SubWordLeft does not exist.

Yes the nightly CI seems to be broken.

I have my own dev branch that auto-builds and uploads artifacts for new commits if you don't mind

@dmaluka
Maybe we can do something like this from what I have

    - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
      with:
        name: micro-${{ matrix.os }}-${{ github.sha }}
        path: |
          ./micro
          ./micro.exe
        compression-level: 9

and point people to the GitHub action artifacts if they want nightly.
