--local-repository wildcard ref support

[Makeshift]

Act version

0.2.74

Feature description

As @ChristopherHX mentioned in #2390, allowing --local-repository to globally override any refs would be awesome.

Similar to in that issue, I have a single repository full of many different actions, eg

ebx/actions/action-bash-debug
ebx/actions/action-upload-s3-artifact
ebx/actions/action-app-deployer

etc.

Having to look up the current version in use by a workflow and having to write a custom ebx/actions@v1.2.3=/path/to/ebx/actions arg is a little inconvenient.

It's still an incredibly useful feature though, so I definitely appreciate it!

If you want to learn some golang and have this feature it's probably pretty simple to change this matching code here and open a PR

act/pkg/runner/local_repository_cache.go

Lines 26 to 39 in 3f741df

	logger := common.Logger(ctx)
	logger.Debugf("LocalRepositoryCache fetch %s with ref %s", url, ref)
	if dest, ok := l.LocalRepositories[fmt.Sprintf("%s@%s", url, ref)]; ok {
	logger.Infof("LocalRepositoryCache matched %s with ref %s to %s", url, ref, dest)
	l.CacheDirCache[fmt.Sprintf("%s@%s", cacheDir, ref)] = dest
	return ref, nil
	}
	if purl, err := goURL.Parse(url); err == nil {
	if dest, ok := l.LocalRepositories[fmt.Sprintf("%s@%s", strings.TrimPrefix(purl.Path, "/"), ref)]; ok {
	logger.Infof("LocalRepositoryCache matched %s with ref %s to %s", url, ref, dest)
	l.CacheDirCache[fmt.Sprintf("%s@%s", cacheDir, ref)] = dest
	return ref, nil
	}
	}

l.LocalRepositories

contains your cli arguments split by =

if dest, ok := l.LocalRepositories[fmt.Sprintf("%s@%s", url, ref)]; ok { is used to match currently duplicate such an if + body make this happen

I'm behind my plans here and not working on any feature requests right now

Learning some Go sounds like a pretty fun weekend project, actualy. I'll see if I can give it a go, thank you for the pointers!
