This cookbook install, manage, and manipulate github hosted runners. Provide authtoken to generate registration-token for github runner

Self-hosted runners offer more control of hardware, operating system, and software tools than GitHub-hosted runners provide. With self-hosted runners, you can choose to create a custom hardware configuration with more processing power or memory to run larger jobs, install software available on your local network, and choose an operating system not offered by GitHub-hosted runners. Self-hosted runners can be physical, virtual, in a container, on-premises, or in a cloud.

You can add self-hosted runners at various levels in the management hierarchy:

• Repository-level runners are dedicated to a single repository.
• Organization-level runners can process jobs for multiple repositories in an organization.
• Enterprise-level runners can be assigned to multiple organizations in an enterprise account

• You can use any machine as a self-hosted runner as long at it meets these requirements:

• You can install and run the self-hosted runner application on the machine. For more information, see "Supported operating systems for self-hosted runners."

• The machine can communicate with GitHub Actions. For more information, see "Communication between self-hosted runners and GitHub."

• The machine has enough hardware resources for the type of workflows you plan to run. The self-hosted runner application itself only requires minimal resources. If you want to run workflows that use Docker container actions or service containers, you must use a Linux machine and Docker must be installed.

There are some limits on GitHub Actions usage when using self-hosted runners. These limits are subject to change.

• Workflow run time - Each workflow run is limited to 72 hours. If a workflow run reaches this limit, the workflow run is cancelled.
• Job queue time - Each job for self-hosted runners can be queued for a maximum of 24 hours. If a self-hosted runner does not start executing the job within this ∂limit, the job is terminated and fails to complete.
• API requests - You can execute up to 1000 API requests in an hour across all actions within a repository. If exceeded, additional API calls will fail, which might cause jobs to fail.
• Job matrix - A job matrix can generate a maximum of 256 jobs per workflow run. This limit also applies to self-hosted runners.

• Action runner will be installed as service in Linux, and the name of the service would be "actionrunners"
• On Windows runner will also be installed as service with service name "actions.runner.#{new_resource.github_org}.#{new_resource.builder_name}"
• In Linux the srvice user will have limited permissions to run service commands
• Windows administrative user will be able to stop and start the service.
