HelixCheck - update v 1.0.1

I've just released a quick update to my GitHub Action - HelixCheck.

New release includes additional input parameter named excluded-projects which can be used to exclude projects that we don't want to be analysed. Example setup:

name: Helix Check

on:
  push:
    branches: [ develop, master ]
  pull_request:
    branches: [ develop, master ]

jobs:
  check_job:
    name: Helix check
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - name: Helix Check
        uses: ethisysltd/helix-check@v1.0.1
        id: check
        with:
          solution-file: 'Helixbase.sln'
          project-name: 'Helixbase'
          website-folder: 'website'
          excluded-projects: 'Helixbase.Foundation.NotFollowingHelix,Helixbase.Feature.RatherNotFollowingHelix'
      
      - name: Get the check result
        run: echo "Check result - ${{ steps.check.outputs.result }}"
      
      - name: Get the output time
        run: echo "The time was - ${{ steps.check.outputs.time }}"

Value of that parameter should be a string with comma-delimited names of projects. I couldn't use YAML's multiline collections syntax here because of GitHub Actions limitations.

Ideally this parameter shouldn't be used, as Helix project setup should be clean, but I've got some requests to add this. And, as usual, in real world solutions there can be legacy projects which might be a work in progress of refactoring, so there it goes!

If used, there will be additional warning added to the output, which won't affect the result outcome but will add more visibility of the setup gotchas:
