Action fails with "fail to parse diff" error if PR touches more than 300 files.

We're using this action as a pull request check in a repository that sees a lot of autogenerated PRs touching many configuration files. If more than 300 files are changed by a PR, this action fails with:

reviewdog: post failed for actionlint: fail to parse diff: GET https://api.github.com/repos/<ORG>/<REPO>/pulls/380: 406 Sorry, the diff exceeded the maximum number of files (300). Consider using 'List pull requests files' API or locally cloning the repository instead. [{Resource:PullRequest Field:diff Code:too_large Message:}]

Is there a workaround here?

It looks like there was a partial fix in 0.17.4 (issue: reviewdog/reviewdog#1696, PR: reviewdog/reviewdog#1714). That said, the bump PR is still outstanding (#123), and based on the issue comments it appears that there are still some unhandled cases.

That said hopefully a maintainer/someone affiliated with the project can correct me if I'm wrong here, I was just looking into this because I also hit this issue.
