Fetch the latest actions/runner release when the instance starts, rather than installing a version pinned in this repository. GitHub refuses registration for self-hosted runners below 2.329.0 and the pin sat at 2.309.0.

Track the latest release rather than advancing the pin, since a runner more than thirty days behind the newest release is also refused from running jobs. A fixed version needs a commit every month to stay usable, and a lapsed month reads as an intermittent runner failure rather than an expired pin.
