* Upgrade cibuildwheel on Linux & Mac OS job (#920)

cibuildwheel was already bumped for the Windows 62 and 64 bit jobs,
but the Linux and Mac OS jobs were still using the old version,
which doesn't support Python 3.12.
So despite the advertised support for Python 3.12,
the 3.12 wheels were not actually being uploaded.

* Downgrade upload-artifact on 64 bit Windows (#919)

actions/upload-artifact was only bumped to v4 on 64 bit Windows.
Artifacts created with v4 can not be downloaded by v3,
so the download step in the release job completely misses the 64 bit Windows wheels.
