Native GitHub action

[joonas-fi]

We currently integrate with GitHub actions like this:

    - name: Build
      run: |
        curl --fail --location --silent --output bob https://function61.com/go/turbobob-latest-linux-amd64 && chmod +x bob
        CI_REVISION_ID="$GITHUB_SHA" ./bob build --publish-artefacts

If we released Bob as a native GitHub action, it would look something like:

    - uses: function61/bob-action

Benefits: I think GitHub can cache the Docker image more aggressively.

Cons: not sure if this is possible, if Docker-based steps themselves can invoke Docker commands?

Looks like one can directly run containers as well: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-jobs/running-jobs-in-a-container
