Hey! 👋

This PR adds a working-directory input to github-script, similar to how run steps support working-directory in GitHub Actions.

The Problem

Before this change, if you wanted your script to run in a different directory, you had to manually call process.chdir() in your script. This is:

Inconvenient
Error-prone
Inconsistent with how other GitHub Actions work

The Solution

Now you can simply specify the working directory:

- uses: actions/github-script@v9
  with:
    working-directory: ./my-project
    script: |
      const fs = require('fs');
      console.log(fs.readdirSync('.'));

What Changed

Added working-directory input to action.yml
Added process.chdir() call in main.ts before script execution
Updated tests to cover the new feature

Testing

All existing tests pass, and new tests were added for the working-directory feature.

Closes #426
