Install AWS CLI on a GitHub Actions Linux host.

After this action, every step is capable of running aws CLI, and it's up to you to set the environment variables (secrets) AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY.

Valid version values:

• 1 - latest v1
• 2 - latest v2 (default)
• 1.##.## - specific v1
• 2.##.## - specific v2

    version: 2     # default
    verbose: false # default
    arch: amd64    # allowed values: amd64, arm64
    rootdir: ""    # defaults to "PWD"
