Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/nektos/act/issues/739

I experience this with such action below

      - name: yq - my yq step
        uses: mikefarah/yq@v4.9.6
        with:
          cmd: yq --help

it appears to use https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/blob/master/Dockerfile even though it points to
https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/blob/master/github-action/Dockerfile via https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/blob/master/action.yml#L15.

Probably somethings should be done in this line below to fix this issue. github.com/nektos/act@a9fe038347/pkg/runner/step_context.go (L472)

System information

- Operating System: macOS
- Architecture: arm64 (64-bit)
- Apple M1: yes
- Docker version: 20.10.7
- Docker image used in `act`: catthehacker/ubuntu:act-latest
- `act` version: act version 0.2.23

Expected behaviour

use the right context path (github.com/mikefarah/yq/github-action(/Dockerfile)) to build the image

Actual behaviour

use the wrong context path (github.com/mikefarah/yq(/Dockerfile) to build the image
