Describe issue

This issue describes it pretty nicely: https://github.com/snok/install-poetry/pull/117

Long story short, the install-poetry action has a run: main.sh: github.com/snok/install-poetry@c137a18a0f/action.yml (L35)
On Github Actions that works perfectly, when running within act this results in:
/var/run/act/workflow/1-composite-0.sh: line 2: /var/run/act/actions/snok-install-poetry@v1.3.3/main.sh: Permission denied

can confirm this happens after the docker cp src=C:\Users\ZB Jade Ornelas\.cache\act/whatever-action@latest/ dst=/var/run/act/actions/whatever-action@latest/ because the files on the docker would need a chmod a+x

On windows the following cli option should turn on a fix for this --use-new-action-cache

A mass rewrite of a hot code path can cause a big behavior change, since then the old behavior is still in place by default
Note in this case the file must be marked as executable in git like in xu-cheng/latex-action
