Update CI/CD Workflow for XML File Handling

This commit updates the GitHub Actions workflow for the ATAK-Maps project. The key changes include:

- Modified the 'Get Date' step to use the new syntax for setting environment variables, replacing the deprecated '::set-output' command.
- Adjusted the 'Generate release notes' step to fetch the complete git history for accurate log generation and updated the syntax for setting environment variables.
- Ensured the use of the 'env.date' environment variable throughout the workflow for consistency and adherence to GitHub Actions standards.

These changes improve the workflow's compliance with current GitHub Actions best practices and ensure the reliable generation of release notes and date-stamped zip files for XML updates.
