Issue/PR Commenter action

This action comments on an issue or PR. Action allows to specify what happens to previously made comments. E.g. it can just append a new comment, replace an existing one or delete old ones. Deleting or replacing old comments avoids scenarios where automated systems post a lot of comments on PRs. Cleaning old comments makes sure the PRs comment section stays clean.

Inputs

`id`

Required Identifier used to find previously made comments.

`body`

Required Text of the comment that will be posted on the issue / PR.

`github-token`

Required Access token used to access the github API. If you want to use this action for community PRs, you need to specify a personal access token (otherwise the action won't be able to delete old comments).

`mode`

Optional Specifies what happens to previously made comments. Either one of:

delete-previous: previous comments will be deleted and a new one added
update-previous: previous comment will be edited, if it does not exist a new one will be added
keep-previous: previous comments will be kept and a new comment will be added

Defaults to delete-previous.

`issue`

Optional Number of the issue / PR to post the comment on. Defaults to the issue / PR the action is running on.
