Handle GITHUB_OUTPUT

See original GitHub issue

GitHub actions are deprecating the previous set-output approach for setting outputs in favour of echoing to GITHUB_OUTPUT (link) as flagged by @stephenandary in #180.

When run inside a dev container, the GITHUB_OUTPUT location is not accessible (even if the environment variable is set).

Proposed approach to handling this:

mount the host’s GITHUB_OUTPUT location to /mnt/github/output inside the dev container
set the GITHUB_OUTPUT environment variable in the container to /mnt/github/output

This could be done automatically so that this just works as expected for users of the CI action.

Additionally, this approach could be adopted for GITHUB_OUTPUT, GITHUB_STATE, GITHUB_ENV, GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY, and GITHUB_PATH
