Improvements to GitHub Actions

GitHub Actions runner has been updated to version 2.158.0 with the following improvements:

  • Support for Alpine based containers in [job.<job id>.container](https://help.github.com/en/articles/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#jobsjob_idcontainer) and[job.<job id>.services](https://help.github.com/en/articles/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#jobsjob_idservices).
  • Stop overriding the working directory for [job.<job id>.services](https://help.github.com/en/articles/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#jobsjob_idservices) containers.
  • Fixed a bug where the runner would prefer a Dockerfile even if actions.yml is present.
  • The add-mask and set-secret commands are now supported. These enable actions to register additional masking patterns with the runner for log redaction.
