GitHub Actions for Hugo extended and Modules

• gohugoio/hugo: The world’s fastest framework for building websites.

We can run Hugo on a virtual machine of GitHub Actions by this Hugo action. Hugo extended version and Hugo Modules are supported.

From v2.0.0, this Hugo action migrated to a JavaScript (TypeScript) action. We no longer build or pull a Hugo docker image. Thanks to this change, we can complete this action less than 4 sec. (A docker base action was taking about 1 min or more execution time to build or pull.)
