Supporting action output

[jsoref]

If that's all that's desired, then it'd be a pretty easy thing to do right here:

dependency-review-action/src/comment-pr.ts

Lines 16 to 23 in 80f10bf

	if (!github.context.payload.pull_request) {
	core.warning(
	'Not in the context of a pull request. Skipping comment creation.'
	)
	return
	}
	const commentBody = `${summary.stringify()}\n\n${COMMENT_MARKER}`

Hi @davidmally-at! I don't think we have anything in place to support the use case you're proposing, a PR would be extremely welcome! 🙇

I'd also support this feature request.

The summary used for a PR comment is compiled. All that is left to do is output that from the workflow so that it could be picked up by later steps.

This functionality is now available in the latest release of the Action (4.1.2) thanks to @jsoref. You can find an example here of how to use the output. Closing this issue.
