Setup Terraform GitHub Action

Special Notice

From version v3.0.0, the inputs and outputs are changed to dash-separated version (terraform-version, terraform-version-file, terraform-path).

This convention aligns with the YAML style guide and is more prevalent in the GitHub Actions community and documentation.
