Act does not replace the env context when using expressions in workflow files

Issue

When using ${{ env.WHATEVER }} in a workflow file, act does not replace it by the actual environment variable and returns undefined

Reproducing

I've created a repo where this is easily reproducible

https://github.com/davidlj95/act-bug

You can see in the Actions tab that GitHub is replacing the env var though when running act locally it does not and returns undefined

Thanks!
