Add an `artifact` output to the build-and-distribute workflow so calling workflows can reference the generated artifact name without reconstructing it manually. A dedicated step captures the artifact name into both GITHUB_ENV and GITHUB_OUTPUT, making it available to the upload step and to any downstream jobs via `needs.<job>.outputs.artifact`.

build-plugin-archivealready exposes the generated archive name as aworkflow_calloutput (artifact). This PR brings the same behaviour tobuild-and-distribute.Changes
build-and-distribute.yml: Added aSet artifact namestep that writes the artifact name (PACKAGE_NAME-PACKAGE_VERSION) to both$GITHUB_ENVand$GITHUB_OUTPUT, ensuring a single computed value is used everywhere. Wired that step output up through job-level and workflow-leveloutputsblocks so callers can reference it vianeeds.<job>.outputs.artifact.docs/build-and-distribute.md: Added a "Workflow output" subsection under "Artifact Output" documenting the new output and showing how a downstream job can consume it withactions/download-artifact.
