Updated all instances of upload/download artifact to use v4 (#1295)

**Title:** Updated all instances of upload/download artifact to use v4 **Summary:** All versions of `actions/upload-artifact` and `actions/download-artifact` that are older than major version `v4` are no longer supported by GitHub: [See Blogpost](https://github.blog/changelog/2024-04-16-deprecation-notice-v3-of-the-artifact-actions/) This PR updates all instances of these actions within the QML CI to use the v4 version. **Relevant references:** [sc-81821] **Possible Drawbacks:** Though on the slight chance some hiccups can be encountered, we have no choice but for fall forwards on this change. **Related GitHub Issues:** None.
