This PR introduces a new boolean input, soft-fail-version-check, which defaults to false. When set to true, the action will:

• Emit a warning instead of throwing an error when the requested Swift version isn’t found in the list of tested versions.
• Attempt to download/install the exact version string provided

This makes it possible to consume patch/minor releases (e.g. 6.1.1) as soon as they’re available upstream, without having to wait for the action’s static list to be updated. #743 #706 #683 #672

Changes:
action.yml

• Added soft-fail-version-check input (default: false)

src/swift-versions.ts

• Read soft-fail-version-check via core.getInput(...)
• In verify(...), replace the hard error on missing version with:

if (softFailVersionCheck) {
  core.warning(
    `Swift version "${version}" not in the list of tested versions; proceeding anyway because soft-fail-version-check is enabled.`
  );
  return version;
}
throw new Error(`Version "${version}" is not available`);

Tests:
Added a matrix job in our test workflow to verify all three behaviors:

• Default (fails on unknown versions)
• With soft-fail-version-check: true (warns and proceeds)
• With soft-fail-version-check: true (warns and proceeds) but then fails because the version 6.1.6 does not exist.
