Enhancement: A flag for providing inputs

[neongreen]

Would be great if I could say --input name=value instead of having to create a file as per #332.

I am using GitHub Actions for tasks like "deploy a certain branch to staging", etc, and nearly all my actions currently require inputs. (While, on the other hand, I don't have any on: push actions.)

I second this. It would be super useful.

@catthehacker @KnisterPeter 🔝 what do you think? I'm using this library for the first time and this is the first thing I noticed is missing.

Thanks!

@Yago-Ferrer feel free to start implementing and contributing it

[catthehacker]

If issue is not closed, it's free to implement. If it's not implemented yet, it's most likely up to you to do it (until we fix all the major issues and problems with higher priority :).

It would be great if act aligned with github's workflow command in gh tool: https://cli.github.com/manual/gh_workflow_run Specifically, the -f, -F, and --json options for specifying inputs.

I would like to take this issue if no one is working on it
