Release 0.19.0 of Spellcheck (GitHub) Action - a security release

Hot of the press release of 0.19.0 of Spellcheck GitHub Action.

This release was aimed at being a maintenance release, based on a PR from the tireless @dependabot, making sure the Docker base image is kept up to date. Another bot stole it's thunder with a PR bumping a core dependency to a newer version, which had some security vulnerabilities patched.

Release 0.19.0 is available on DockerHub and in the GitHub Marketplace.

All I have done for this release, apart from releasing it, was reviewing, building and testing - thanks to my tireless bot contributors: @dependabot and @snyk-bot

Change log

0.19.0, 2021-12-18, security release , update recommended
