This new function is similar to `run` except that it requires that the arguments be passed properly quoted and pre-split through an array. It also will not permit the prefixing a command for execution. The major difference between `run` and `execute` is that `execute` will not go through a shell, so parameter expansion, variable substitution, etc do not occur. Additionally, because there is no shell involved, a single process is created rather than two processes (one for the shell, and the actual process being invoked). This is required to enable using this action on Windows, where the process redirection does not work as the shell used is different.
Use the newly minted `execute` to directly execute the `git` process. This should be a slight bit faster as no new shell process needs to be setup.

This adds a new utility function
executewhich executes a command without the assumption that there is a POSIX-like shell being used. This functionality is needed to eventually solve #213. However, it is still useful to perform some micro-optimizations of avoiding the shell when usinggit.
