Create release with Node 16.x support

[elliotmakuh]

Describe the request

Github is enforcing the use of Node 16 in Github Actions starting on May 18th at which point this action will fail to work.
(see post here: https://github.blog/changelog/2023-05-04-github-actions-all-actions-will-run-on-node16-instead-of-node12/)

It looks like this action has already been updated to support Node 16 as described in issue #59 . A new release of the action needs to be published that includes the updated Node 16 support before May 18th.

I didn't want to open a duplicate issue but the issue #59 is locked and this is becoming an urgent issue.

Describe the current behavior

setup-protoc runs on Node 12 and will fail to work starting on May 18th.

'arduino/setup-protoc' version

1.1.2

@kim0 thx for the heads up we rushed the release. Any feedback if it's not breaking anything would be awesome. Sorry about that! 🙏

It didn't get picked up on its own with just @v1, but changing the pinning to @v1.2.0 in the workflow file worked and my build is still green. I don't see the warning annotation on my build anymore either. Thanks for the energy you guys put in today! 👍

@zeisss thx for the test. You can now use the @v1 without being forced to pin the @1.2.0 to pick up the latest version. Yesterday we forgot to update that branch. woopsi 😅

Good thing I mentioned it then 👍
