Add ignoreTags support to exclude old versions from packaging

[Copilot]

This PR implements a way to exclude certain old version tags from being packaged. The solution adds an optional ignoreTags field to the action config JSON files that accepts an array of regex patterns.

Summary of Changes:

Changes:

1. script/internal/generate-scripts.sh: Read ignoreTags patterns and skip tags that match any pattern during script generation
2. script/internal/action-config.js: Added ignoreTags property to ActionConfig class and updated add() function to accept and save the field
3. script/internal/add-action.js: Added --ignore-tags command-line option that accepts simple version prefixes (e.g., v1,v2) and auto-generates the correct regex patterns - no escaping required
4. script/internal/update-action.js: Modified to preserve ignoreTags when updating existing configs
5. script/add-ignore-tags.sh & script/internal/add-ignore-tags.js: New helper script to add ignoreTags to existing action configs (one action at a time)
6. README.md: Updated documentation with usage examples for both CLI option and JSON config

Usage:

When adding a new action:

./script/add-action.sh --ignore-tags "v1,v2" actions/checkout

This auto-generates regex patterns that match v1, v1.x, v2, v2.x, etc.

For existing actions, use the helper script:

./script/add-ignore-tags.sh --ignore-tags "v1,v2" actions/checkout

Or add ignoreTags directly to the JSON config:

{
  "ignoreTags": [
    "^v1(\\..*)?$",
    "^v2(\\..*)?$"
  ]
}

The ignoreTags field is preserved when running update-action.sh.
