ci: remove api calls to determine the version

[rochdev]

💌 Description

Remove API calls to determine the version. We sometimes push hundreds of commits in a short timeframe, and we end up hitting GitHub rate limits in CI. This action alone is not the sole culprit, but it does contribute to our total API calls. From looking at it, it seemed like the calls can be avoided entirely, so this PR does that.
