📄 Description

This PR introduces improvements to the Act install script by adding logic to check if Act is already installed. If the installed version matches the requested tag, the script will skip the installation process. This enhancement is particularly useful in CI environments where Act might already be preinstalled, reducing redundant downloads and saving bandwidth.

Key Changes:

Version Check Logic: The script now checks if Act is already installed and whether its version matches the requested tag. If a match is found, the installation is skipped.
Force Install Flag -f: A new CLI flag -f has been added to bypass the version check. This ensures flexibility when users explicitly want to reinstall or downgrade Act.
Upgrade & Downgrade: The script only skips installation if the installed version matches the requested tag. It doesn’t prevent downgrades or upgrades to different versions, offering control to the end user.
