Have actions/checkout do the full fetch

EliahKagan · EliahKagan · commit 4eef3ecd5b2e · 2023-09-11T00:44:56.000-04:00
Setting the "fetch-depth" to 0 does a deep (i.e., ordinary) fetch,
fetching all commits and tags. Setting "submodules" to "recursive"
clones and checks out all submodules. These options allow commands
that were doing those things to be removed from the later steps.
