Makes sense, thanks!

For anybody using the `setup-racket' GitHub action to install snapshots,
I cut a new release[1] that uses the new URL structure.  All you have to
do to update is change the `uses' line from `Bogdanp/[email protected]'
to `Bogdanp/[email protected]'.  You only need to do this if you use
`current' for the Racket version.
