ci: replace deploy-nightly action with a local composite action (#16419)

WebFreak001/deploy-nightly still targets Node.js 20, so every main build
logged a deprecation warning per deploy step. The action has had no
release since 2024 and its Node 24 PR is unmerged.

The local action in .github/actions/deploy-nightly uploads the new file
under a temporary name and renames it once the upload finishes, so a
failed upload keeps the existing nightly asset. It also fails on a missing
file before deleting anything, retries transient API errors, times out
stalled transfers, handles concurrent runs, and finds the release by its
nightly-builds tag. The macOS validator DMG deploy now runs only when that
DMG was built.
