Close Duplicate Issues - GitHub Actions

A GitHub action that closes duplicate issues where a specific regex pattern is found, replies with a given defined message, optionally adds labels and optionally closes the issue.

Usage

For an opened issue the items are checked in order and if a match is found the resto of the items are not checked.

Order is important!

Since actions do not support passing arrays as input parameters, we pass a JSON string for the items parameter.
