Update this workshop to use Action.yml instead of a Dockerfile

[bdougie]

V2 leverages the action.yml and it is recommended in the help-docs guide.

Actually, not sure this would add any value since the hello world is bash. Maybe disregard.

Leaving for the sake of the discussion.

// proposed
name: My Hello World Action
author: me
description: 'Action that does some cool stuff!'
runs:
  using: 'docker'
  image: 'Dockerfile'

Actions v2 can leverage both Docker based Actions as well as JavaScript based Actions. You reference the JavaScript Actions how-to-guide.

Take a quick read on the Docker Actions

Truth be told, both types of Actions request that we use action.yml to supply metadata.

If you're feeling adventurous consider checking out how you can contribute this fix directly by reading our contributing guide. In the meantime, I challenge you to a 🏎 🏎 🏎 to see who can fix it first 😄

Thanks for the heads up, @bdougie

@mattdavis0351 -- this is what you and I were discussing recently, right? You mentioned action.yml is now recommended for Docker based actions, too.

I think @mattdavis0351 did this!
