fix: install package with sudo for non-root users by default (#546)

This change is to install dependencies with `sudo` for non-root users by
default. The action identify the current UID and enable `sudo` if the
UID is not 0. Users can disable using `sudo` by setting the `no-sudo:
true` in the action input.

```yaml
steps:
  - uses: browser-actions/setup-chrome@v1
    with:
      chrome-version: 120
      install-dependencies: true
      no-sudo: true
```
