GitHub action for `lightdash deploy` should work even if my dbt project isn't in my root directory

See original GitHub issue

Description

Right now, if I have a dbt project that I’m trying to connect our lightdash deploy GitHub action to and it’s not in the root repo (i.e. it’s in my-repo/dbt/models instead of dbt/models), then I get this error:

invalid project dir

We should add some default folders, or use a find script to locate the yaml file inside the repo so that this error doesn’t happen.

@rephus that looks good 👍 I would go with that right now and ignore the cases of multiple dbt projects in the same repo.
