GitHub Action: Check commit subject is compliant with HAProxy guidelines

This action checks that the commit subject is compliant with the patch classifying rules of HAProxy contribution guidelines. Also it does minimal check for a meaningful message in the commit subject: no less than 20 characters and at least 3 words.

By default only the top commit subject is checked. If the commit subject has the format: Merge 'commitA-ID' into 'commitB-ID', all commit subjects between 'commitA' and 'commitB' will be checked.

Usage

steps:
  - name: Check out code
    uses: actions/checkout@v2
    with:
      fetch-depth: 10
  - name: check-commit
    uses: docker://haproxytech/check-commit:TAG

Here we instruct checkout@v2 action to fetch last 10 commits (by default it fetches only last one) which is required in case of checking multiple commits.
