Subject: [PATCH] Try to fix verify-notes breakage (#9795)

- Update python3 version to 3.12.13
 - Use action/checkout instead of Bhacaz/checkout-files because action/checkout can
   use the action/files of the current PR, where as checkout-files is checking out
   a file on the main branch
 - action/checkout seems to run in less than a minute, so acceptable performance
   difference.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Breakage is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/jwt/algorithms.py", line 36, in <module>
    from cryptography.exceptions import InvalidSignature, UnsupportedAlgorithm
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cryptography'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
