Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/nektos/act/issues/333

The GitHub Actions runner sets the CI env variable to true (discussion: https://github.com/actions/runner/issues/368, pr: https://github.com/actions/runner/pull/374).
act doesn't set CI to true when running GitHub Actions, imo it should.

There are a lot of tools/scripts that except the CI env variable to be set when running in CI, like react-scripts for example.
