Allow to specify a working-directory

[Luc45]

Describe the bug
My workflow expects the script to be executed from a specific directory, so I use something like this:

- name: Do foo
  working-directory: some-dir
  run: ./foo

When porting this to retry, I cannot set the working-directory for the step, as it only works with run.

Expected behavior
Retry should allow to specify a working-directory

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

It would be really great to support the default working-directory too:

First of all, great action!
@tamascsaba this would also be my prefered way of working. I defined my default working directory in the action, and all other steps use this directory except the retry-action.

jobs:
  test:
    name: E2e testing
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    defaults:
      run:
        shell: bash
        working-directory: packages/e2e

Supporting this would be great!

Love this action, but would love it more if working-directory was an input :)

Less than ideal, but it is possible to make it work in a folder by using a multi-line command and use cd.

- name: Install npm dependencies
        uses: nick-fields/retry@v3
        if: ${{ steps.setupNode.outputs.cache-hit != 'true' }}
        with:
          timeout_minutes: 10
          max_attempts: 3
          command: |
            cd apps/frontend
            npm ci

@zburgermeiszter A simpler way to do this would be:

- name: Install npm dependencies
  uses: nick-fields/retry@v3
  if: ${{ steps.setupNode.outputs.cache-hit != 'true' }}
  with:
    timeout_minutes: 10
    max_attempts: 3
    command: npm ci --prefix apps/frontend

Good shout @dbudwin
