Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/nektos/act/issues/582

Describe feature

The Actions runner has the following differences now from act, Act should be brought in line to ensure a more robust test environment:

Activity occurs under the runner user, not root. Actions that work in act with root privileges will fail in the runner
The /github folder no longer exists, all activity happens in the runner home directory
github/workspace has moved to ~/work/RepositoryName/RepositoryName

I'd be willing to invest time in a PR if there was a reasonable chance of it being accepted.

There is already a PR for changing path where repository is checked out (#567)
As for the runner user, I already have basic docker image ready but didn't get further than that yet.
github.com/catthehacker/docker_images@e4dbf90932/linux/ubuntu/runner/Dockerfile
I can also help with PR.
