Support pinning dotnet-version as `"latest"`

[aep-sunlife]

Description:

As a developer, I want to create a GitHub Actions job that tests my .NET projects against floating, bleeding edge .NET versions. For comparison, workflows for other languages like Go support this with the "latest" version value.

Justification:

Today, I do not see an option to let the .NET version automatically target the latest stable .NET release version. Which breaks efforts at futureproof testing, with each new major release of .NET.

Hello @aep-sunlife, Thank you for creating this feature request. We will investigate it and provide feedback as soon as we have some updates.

Is latest here referring to (public) preview, latest stable or latest nightly build? I'd like all three of those options to be available. I think it makes most sense if "latest" by default means latest stable and then use a channel option to control if you get the others.

Seems like a dupe of #497

Hello Everyone👋! We have raised PR#730 which adds dotnet-version: latest support along with an optional dotnet-channel input. Any feedback or suggestions would be welcome. Thanks in advance!
