We need to use a development version of zig since it needs my patch: ziglang/zig#21253
Hopefully they'll release 0.14.0 soon.

Also, keeping this PR wip as master zig artifacts are not kept around, ie: once a new master artifact is released, the old ones get removed.

[FedeDP]

As a workaround, i am using actions/cache to cache the zig toolchain.
