Subject: [PATCH] night build script updates

Fixes some deprecation warnings during nightly build runs. Already tested in WLED-MM.
* upgrade action-github-changelog-generator to 2.4
* decode changelog into a temporary file (needed for changelog-generator 2.4)
* renamed exclude-labels (deprecated); added some more tags for filtering
