Add support for specifying version constraints (#612)

This adds support for specifying a version _constraint_ for the version
of gcloud. Since the GitHub Actions runners pre-install a version of
gcloud, this can dramatically reduce CI times.

 ### Cloud SDK inputs
 
--   `version`: (Optional) A string representing the version of the Cloud SDK
-    (`gcloud`) to install (e.g. `"290.0.1"`). The default value is "latest",
-    which will install the latest available Cloud SDK version.
+-   `skip_install`: (Optional) Skip the `gcloud` installation and use the
+    [system-installed gcloud][github-runners] instead. This can dramatically
+    improve workflow speeds at the expense of a slightly older gcloud version.
+    Setting this to `true` ignores any value for the `version` input. Even if
+    installation is skipped, this GitHub Action will still configure any
+    components or project metadata. The default value is `false`.
+
+-   `version`: (Optional) A string representing the version or version
+    constraint of the Cloud SDK (`gcloud`) to install (e.g. `"290.0.1"` or `">=
+    197.0.1"`). The default value is `"latest"`, which will always download and
+    install the latest available Cloud SDK version.

+      with:
+        version: '>= 416.0.0'
+    ```
+
+    If there is no installed `gcloud` version that matches the given constraint,
+    this GitHub Action will download and install the latest available version
+    that still matches the constraint.

+      with:
+        version: '>= 363.0.0'
+    ```
+
+    You are responsible for ensuring the `gcloud` version matches the features
+    and components required. See the [gcloud release
