Build distribution when running quick-check workflow

The action requires the generated distribution to committed to the 'dist' directory.
During regular development this step causes a number of problems:
- It's easy to forget to add/commit these generated files.
- It's very difficult/impossible to merge/rebase commits that involve generated files
- These file add unnecessary bulk to the git history

With this change, the quick-check workflow will first build the distribution and then
use the generated output for testing. Building and committing these files will only be
required when merging into the 'main' branch.
