Add check mode and fixes boolean inputs (#111)

* Add check mode option

* Fixes boolean inputs

Boolean inputs weren't working properly before. Passing any value would
result in `true`, which is unexpected and not according to inputs
description. This change retrieves booleans with `getBooleanInput()` and
sets a default to `false`.

Relevant GitHub discussion and comment: https://github.com/actions/toolkit/issues/361#issuecomment-829507270

* Update action.yml

* Update test.yml

* Update test.yml
