ghactions: Adjust action so that versioning works

For `git describe` to work on non-tag pushes, we need the repo history/tags, a shallow clone with just the latest commit won't be enough. There's also a bug in actions/checkout for tag pushes, the tag is overridden with a non-tag, which breaks `git describe` for the tag. This commit adds a workaround for this.
