Nested quarto action in setup-r-dependencies@v2 breaks workflow in restricted Organization setup

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
My GitHub Organization only allows to use specific minor release versions (vX.X.X) of untrusted third-party actions, and they consider that quarto-dev/quarto-actions/setup falls under this category (r-lib actions do not). Thus the nested quarto-dev/quarto-actions/setup@v2 action in [email protected] introduced in 67f8747 causes all workflows to fail due to the version used for the quarto action. This occurs even if we set install-quarto: false, since the workflow will first check if all the actions required by a given action can be downloaded.

Describe the solution you'd like
If this dependency in quarto-dev/quarto-actions/setup is desirable, a solution would be to include an input parameter in r-lib/actions/setup-r-dependencies for specifying the version of the quarto action.

Describe alternatives you've considered
We could use [email protected] but we would be stuck with an outdated action forever.

That is a pretty weird policy, considering, that these tags are merely labels, that can be changed later, whether they are minor release versions or not.

But I guess we can use a minor version of that action, no problem.

I am fairly sure that you cannot parameterize action versions. The action versions of a workflow run are resolved up front, before any parameters are considered.
