Add support for locally hosted GHES instances to reduce rate limiting
Description:
Rate limiting, while necessary, can be frustrating to deal with. The work around is not always a viable solution. No company wants to rely solely on a single employee's GitHub.com PAT for significant internal projects.
This attempts to resolve rate limiting errors by allowing users to internally host a copy of actions/python-versions and specify their GHES api endpoint instead of the GitHub.com endpoint being hardcoded.
##[error]API rate limit exceeded for YOUR_IP. (But here's the good news: Authenticated requests get a higher rate limit. Check out the documentation for more details.)

Without any changes to installCpythonFromRelease the action will download the release from github.com. Further work is needed here.
