proposal: govulncheck-action: support for cache-dependency-path input

[AlexLaviolette]

Proposal Details

Currently, when using the golang/govulncheck-action action, there is no way to specify the cache-dependency-path. cache-dependency-path is used by actions/setup-go for cases when multiple dependency files are used, or they are located in different subdirectories.

Since govulncheck-action calls setup-go without this input, it is very inefficient in cases where cache-dependency-path would be used.

This has already been raised in a now closed PR, but the solution in the PR is still valid.
