Description:
Don't override AGENT_TOOLSDIRECTORY if it's not needed:

AGENT_TOOLSDIRECTORY is always overriden on macOS.
This seems to be needed because CPython < 3.11 x64 builds are not relocatable
It means this is not needed for PyPy and also not needed when targetting macOS arm64 runners.

Related issue:
Towards #547

Check list:

  • Mark if documentation changes are required.
  • Mark if tests were added or updated to cover the changes.

@dsame could you have a look at this? It's related to #394

I believe this section of the docs explains why we do this.

@mayeut I understand why we don't need it for PyPy, but could you explain why it's not needed for macOS arm64 runners?

This would need a full rework with the new multi versions support.
Closing for now.

but could you explain why it's not needed for macOS arm64 runners?

@brcrista, if using universal2 installers as proposed in actions/python-versions#214, then the python installation is always installed in a fixed framework location and the tool cache only manages symlinks. We can create those symlinks wherever we want.
