Act version

0.2.54

Feature description

When trying to run act against self-hosted runners. We use some extra flags to control which machine is selected - as recommended by GitHub:

I would really like to be able to use the -P flag to match against the full array. I.e.
-P [self-hosted, linux]=catthehacker/ubuntu:act-latest
-P [self-hosted, source=AWS]=catthehacker/ubuntu:act-latest
