- up until now, we've been running `grunt release` before publishing to
NPM or pushing the canary zip
- this command runs the production asset build and generates a zip
- this zip isn't used by the NPM publishing task because that does an
`npm pack`
- we only use it for the canary build, but this should be brought more
inline with the NPM process to make the gaps smaller
- this commit refactors the `grunt release` task to become a lot smaller
by removing the generated zip steps
- the expected workflow is now to just to an `npm pack`, which will run
the `prepack` task to generate a `.tgz` archive
- this should still respect `.npmignore`, so it'll just include the
files we expect
- the test of the canary workflow is being updated to handle this
- also cleans up a dev dependency that is no longer used, along with 2
imports

- the `setup-node` GitHub Action seems to use a shell command to get the
cache path, but these are colorised when `FORCE_COLOR` is enabled
- this causes the Action to fail to read the path correctly
- the comment referenced above suggests to remove `FORCE_COLOR` but it's
nice to have colored output for our tests
- instead, I'm disabling the environment variable on the `setup-node`
action so it still works
- I've tested with the referenced PR and this unblocks dependency caching 🎉
no issue
- `RELEASE_TOKEN` is currently a GitHub personal token, but this
has some downsides:
- if the token ever expires and I'm unaware, it'll break the release
process
- GitHub Releases say the creator was `daniellockyer` even if someone
else actually did the release
- this commit switches over to using the built-in `GITHUB_TOKEN`, which
is owned by the `github-actions` app and should never expire
- aside from that, Ghost releases will be created by the neutral
`github-actions` account
no issue
- Node 14 is now our recommended version and it's easier if we build
Ghost with this version
- this also works around the fact that 12.18.0 would no longer build
Ghost because we have bumped our minimum 12 version
- The default Node version on GitHub Actions is moving to Node 14 and we
want to keep building it on 12 for now, so this commit pins the
version to 12.18.0
- we were using `ubuntu-latest`, which is an alias for 18.04, but there's an
increasingly likely chance that the default becomes 20.04 soon.
- we don't officially support 20.04 yet, so we want to pin to our
supported version until we're ready
