Add production dependencies & build

EOL was almost a month ago. Woops.

I don't care about people using an old version of GitHub Enterprise, so I'm not going to annoy every single user of this action with a breaking update like GH did with their core actions. If you're a user of GHE: consider this a breaking update.

+### versioninfo
+
+By default, only the output of `julia --version` is printed as verification that Julia has been installed for stable versions of Julia.
+`InteractiveUtils.versioninfo()` is run by default for nightly builds.
+
+Starting Julia and printing the full versioninfo takes a significant amount of time (1s or ~10% of the total build time in testing), so you may not want to run it in every build, in particular on paid runners as this cost will add up quickly.
+However, `julia --version` does not provide sufficient information to know which commit a nightly binary was built from, therefore it is useful to show the full versioninfo on nightly builds regardless.
+
+You can override this behaviour by changing the input to `never` if you never want to run `InteractiveUtils.versioninfo()` or to `true` if you always want to run `InteractiveUtils.versioninfo()`, even on stable Julia builds.
