Fix re-run detection and improve messaging#1010

Conversation
The handling of the GITHUB_ACTOR has changed for re-runs which has broken our detection of improper re-runs (workflow re-run from the actions tab instead of requested via Dependabot). Now when a re-run occurs the GITHUB_ACTOR stays as dependabot[bot] and the GITHUB_TRIGGERING_ACTOR indicates the user that triggered the re-run. GITHUB_TRIGGERING_ACTOR is available starting in GHES 3.7 so I've treated it as an optional field. https://github.blog/changelog/2022-07-19-differentiating-triggering-actor-from-executing-actor/

I think this should be dependabot[bot]?

That's covered in the next tests. This test would cover the case where this action has been added to a custom workflow and the GITHUB_ACTOR would be the user that initially triggers it.
