Output the result to a text file

#1566 v6.3.0

Instead of posting a comment to a GitHub Issue or Pull Request, you can output the result to a text file using github-comment exec's -out option. This is useful to output the result of GitHub Actions workflow_dispatch or schedule events to $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY.

e.g.

github-comment exec -out "file:$GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY" -- npm test

You can post both GitHub and a file.

e.g.

github-comment exec -out github -out "file:$GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY" -- npm test

The value of -out must be either github or file:<file path>.
