…, adding workflow dispatch call (#304)

* Updating all actions to Node.js 20

* Triggering Actions on other branches to test the changes

* Adding on workflow_dispatch and making sure the template from develop branch will be triggered

* Adding workflow_dispatch to Windows, updating all actions to v4

* Updating Linux Actions to v4

* Adding comments to Windows actions

* Using templates from develop branches to test it

* Comment adjustments

* Adding branch restriction back and using templates from masters

* Adding branch restriction back for Windows build
