Does not support configured Node.js version

[kettanaito]

Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

Semantic release action disregards the Node.js version previously configured in the same job.

Workflow

• Failed workflow example

Expected behavior

Semantic release must execute itself and any sub-commands using the globally available Node.js version (in the case above 16.14.0, not 12.13.1).

Additional context
Looks like it fallbacks to some default Node.js version but I see no options to disable this fallback.

The issue may originate from here:

semantic-release-action/action.yml

Line 47 in e878537

using: 'node12'

This must not be hard-coded. Overall, version 12 is archaic at this time and it'd be great for this action to use LTS for better stability and not to block other tools that wish to migrate to the recent version of Node.js.

[kettanaito]

I am willing to open a pull request if you can guide me through the approach you find suitable here. I'd either set using: 'node16' or removed that property at all (if that's allowed) so the Node.js version is inferred from the environment.

[cycjimmy]

Thanks for your suggestion. I will switch to 'node16' soon after checking the compatibility.

[cycjimmy]

I switch to node16 for the running environment of action. Try using cycjimmy/semantic-release-action@v3 to fix the error.
Thanks for your issue. 👍

Thank you for your swift action on this, @cycjimmy! 🎉
