`exclude_comments_by_actor` and `include_comments_by_actor` never matched
any bot. Both the documented `*[bot]` wildcard and exact entries such as
`dependabot[bot]` silently did nothing.
GitHub's GraphQL API returns the bare login for App actors ("dependabot"),
while REST and the GitHub UI append a suffix ("dependabot[bot]"). Filter
patterns are written in the suffixed form, so matching a GraphQL login
against them could never succeed and `actor.endsWith("[bot]")` was dead
code.
Request `__typename` on the Actor-typed author selections and normalize
App actors to their suffixed name via `resolveActorName()` before matching.
Normalizing at the filter boundary fixes the wildcard and exact-match cases
together, and leaves the author names shown in the prompt unchanged.
The existing test mocked `login: "scanner[bot]"`, a payload GraphQL never
produces, which is why the gap was invisible. It now mocks the real shape
(`__typename: "Bot", login: "scanner"`) and fails without this fix.
The commit author selection is left alone: it is a GitCommit, not an Actor.

- Introduced `include_comments_by_actor` and `exclude_comments_by_actor` inputs in action.yml to allow filtering of comments based on actor usernames.
- Updated context parsing to handle new input fields.
- Implemented `filterCommentsByActor` function to filter comments according to specified inclusion and exclusion patterns.
- Modified `fetchGitHubData` to apply actor filters when retrieving comments from pull requests and issues.
- Added comprehensive tests for the new filtering functionality.
This enhancement provides more control over which comments are processed based on the actor, improving the flexibility of the workflow.
