Have the logs use the error annotation format

Line 101 in a915ba6

core.info(`${path}:${line} | ${message.replace(/\n/g, ' ')}`);

If we use the issueCommand() function it will create error annotations in the action as well, which is also handy for accessing the problem.

core.issueCommand('error', {file: path,line:line}, `${message.replace(/\n/g, ' ')}`);

Hey @jamie-wearsafe. I'm not really sure how does that work or what would it improve? Can you elaborate more on this?

When using that annotation the error logs create links to the file and line number in the src.
This way at the end of the job workflow, the items that are brought up in the report are also available as error annotations in the workflow.

I'm unable to find such functionality in javascript core library though.

Its here: https://github.com/actions/toolkit/blob/45647689407e7fb224e06d066dde6aefa67a365f/packages/core/src/command.ts#L23

It's intended for internal use. I'd rather stick to official API.
