A GitHub action that will quickly return which node.js package manager the current repo is using.

I threw this together to stick between actions/checkout and actions/setup-node in a workflow I am using to tell actions/setup-node which cache method to use.

No inputs are required. This will return the name of the package manager (npm, pnpm or yarn) to the output value package_manager.
