feat: Allow skipping setup

If a user is invoking the action multiple times then the trivy binary
gets installed multiple times.  Users can avoid this by managing the
installation themselves and setting the skip-setup input to true, or by
letting the action install in on their first invocation and then setting
skip-setup to true on subsequent invocations

+### Trivy Setup
+By default the action calls [`aquasecurity/setup-trivy`](https://github.com/aquasecurity/setup-trivy) as the first step
+which installs the the `trivy` version specified by the `version` input.  If you have already installed `trivy` by other
+means, e.g. calling `aquasecurity/setup-trivy` directly, or are invoking this action multiple times then you can use the
+`skip-setup-trivy` input to disabled this step.
+
+#### Setting up Trivy Manually
+```yaml
+name: build
+on:
+  push:
+    branches:
+    - main
+  pull_request:
+jobs:
+  build:
+    name: Build
+    runs-on: ubuntu-20.04
+    steps:
+    - name: Checkout code
+      uses: actions/checkout@v4
+
+    - name: Manual Trivy Setup
+      uses: aquasecurity/[email protected]
+      with:
+        cache: true
+        version: v0.56.1
+
+    - name: Run Trivy vulnerability scanner in repo mode
+      uses: aquasecurity/trivy-action@master
+      with:
+        scan-type: 'fs'
+        ignore-unfixed: true
+        format: 'sarif'
+        output: 'trivy-results.sarif'
+        severity: 'CRITICAL'
+        skip-setup-trivy: true
+```
+
+#### Skipping Setup when Calling Trivy Action multiple times
+Another common use case is when a build calls this action multiple times, in this case we can set `skip-setup-trivy` to 
+`true` on subsequent invocations e.g.
+
+```yaml
+name: build
+
+on:
+  push:
+    branches:
+      - main
+  pull_request:
+
+jobs:
+  test:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    permissions:
+      contents: read
+    steps:
+      - name: Check out Git repository
+        uses: actions/checkout@v4
+
+      # The first call to the action will invoke setup-trivy and install trivy
+      - name: Generate Trivy Vulnerability Report
+        uses: aquasecurity/trivy-action@master
+        with:
+          scan-type: "fs"
+          output: trivy-report.json
+          format: json
+          scan-ref: .
+          exit-code: 0

+        uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
+        with:
+          name: trivy-report
+          path: trivy-report.json
+          retention-days: 30
+
+      - name: Fail build on High/Criticial Vulnerabilities
+        uses: aquasecurity/trivy-action@master
+        with:
+          scan-type: "fs"
+          format: table
+          scan-ref: .
+          severity: HIGH,CRITICAL
+          ignore-unfixed: true
+          exit-code: 1
+          # On a subsequent call to the action we know trivy is already installed so can skip this
+          skip-setup-trivy: true
+```
