Cypress Cloud template lists @v5, not @v6

[Mike McCready]

Issue

The Cypress Cloud template is outdated and should now suggest using cypress-io/github-action@v6.

The template is closed source, so it's not possible to submit a PR from outside the cypress-io organization to change the template.

Repro steps

Open https://cloud.cypress.io/
Click "New project"
Enter a project name, click "Create project"
Under section 3 "Finish CI setup", click GitHub Actions

Current template

I just looked in our private repos and the cloud team has already bumped this! Thank you @tbiethman ! It will be released soon.
