At some point GitHub changed things so that the entrypoint script does not run, so the `AS_USER` variable does nothing. Which is just as well, because that user would have no permissions, so even a checkout will fail. So remove the GitHib-specific stuff from `entrypoint.sh` and separately document running the container with the CLI and as a GitHub workflow. Add a new section describing how to use `gosu` directly in a GitHub workflow to execute commands as an unprivileged user. Thanks to @pgguru for figuring out the technique.
