Describe feature

Github added support for conditionals in composite actions in Nov 2021 but it does not seem they are supported in act.

Ex:

# ./action.yml
name: Composite Conditional Test
inputs: 
 my-input:
    description: '`a` or `b` - where to clone the api specs from'
    default: a
    required: false

runs: 
  using: composite
  steps: 
    - name: Check inputs 
      run: |
        echo '${{ inputs.file-source }}'
      shell: bash

    - name: check for a
      if: inputs.file-source == 'local'
      run: |
        echo 'you entered a'  
      shell: bash
    
    - name: check for b
      if: inputs.file-source == 'remote'
      run: |
        echo 'you entered b'
      shell: bash

# ./.github/workflows/test.yml

name: Test
on: [workflow_dispatch]
jobs:
  test:
    name: Test
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps: 
      - name: Checkout 
        uses: actions/checkout@v2 

      - name: Run Test
        uses: ./ 
        with: 
           my-input: b

Output:

b
you entered a
you entered b

It seems the conditionals are being ignored and that conditionals are not defined in the ActionRuns schema

This feature has been contributed by me ( https://github.com/nektos/act/pull/793 ), but still no beeing released.
Here you can find a snaphot of act with this feature: https://github.com/nektos/act/actions/runs/1924759934
I would keep this issue open until the next release.

github.action_status isn't available, just use success() and failure()
