Support using a pre-installed codecov binary

[veehaitch]

Currently, the action always downloads the codecov-cli binary:

codecov-action/src/index.ts

Line 42 in a9883cc

https.get(getBaseUrl(platform, uploaderVersion), (res) => {

This causes trouble in some environments where networking access is restricted (also see #700) or if the action should use a specific version of the binary (e.g., an audited version built from source).

Adding a new argument to action.yml which allows giving an absolute path to the binary would be very helpful.

@veehaitch this is a great idea. I'm a little bit slammed at the moment, but I will work on adding this in sometime this month

Any update on this, @thomasrockhu-codecov? 🙂

@veehaitch gah, time really has caught up to me. Let me see what I can do this week, thanks for following up @veehaitch

Great, thanks for the quick response!

@veehaitch I haven't forgotten about this, we are considering a different architecture to the action that may make this easier to do.
