Support self-hosted Linux runners (non-Ubuntu Linux distributions)

[Totktonada]

At the moment this action supports only Ubuntu, which is used on GitHub hosted runners. Not sure about Debian.

AFAIU, in context of self-hosted runners a GitHub Actions runner may be run not only on Ubuntu, but on another Linux distribution. We have apt / yum repositories for Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, Fedora, openSUSE. It looks worthful to support installing from them.

Please, highliht your interest if you would use this action on self-hosted non-Ubuntu runners or have a problem on self-hosted Ubuntu runners (add an emoji or a comment with your wishes).

It seems, it doesn't even support ubuntu self-hosted runners. I've try to use setup-tarantool on my ubuntu self-hosted runner within matrix setup:

Runners image is almost identical to github-hosted runner. Here is the link to actions run.

Notice: self-hosted runners don't usually provide a clean environment. It means apt/yum install may have negative consequences.
