Support nested composite actions
To reference metadata about composite actions, GitHub Actions provides the `github.action_` context, including `github.action_path`, `github.action_ref`, and `github.action_repository`. GitHub Actions supports nested composite actions with a recursion limit of 9 (9 nested composite actions). Unfortunately `github.action_` values are not propagated correctly when running nested composite actions. This is a bug in the GitHub Actions runner. The suggested workaround is to use inputs to set the correct values. This commit will implement the suggested workaround. https://docs.github.com/en/actions/creating-actions/creating-a-composite-action https://docs.github.com/en/actions/writing-workflows/choosing-what-your-workflow-does/accessing-contextual-information-about-workflow-runs#github-context actions/runner#2473 (comment) #299
