This PR begins using the https://github.com/mlugg/setup-zig action to install Zig in the CI workflow. This has the following advantages:

No more target-specific scripts; setting up Zig is 4 simple lines.
The tarball's minisig is verified, so this will flag up issues if the Mach mirror ever starts doing anything weird.
The Zig version is specified in Mach lingo, i.e. 2024.5.0-mach rather than zig-0.13.0-dev.351+64ef45eb0.
- This could alternatively say mach-latest, but I figured this makes more sense for handling the upgrade process when new versions are nominated.
The global Zig cache is automatically preserved across runs, avoiding redundant work. In particular, this will avoid doing redundant work rebuilding C dependencies on every commit.

This doesn't need to be merged if you'd prefer to stick with the current logic; I largely just wanted to see if it works properly. Nonetheless, I think this represents an improvement to the CI scripts. This PR begins using the https://github.com/mlugg/setup-zig action to install Zig in the CI workflow.
