Suppress warnings for step output property access (#236)

Fixes https://github.com/github/vscode-github-actions/issues/305

Step outputs are dynamic - actions can generate outputs based on
their inputs, so validating output property names is not feasible.

This marks step output dictionaries as incomplete so that accessing
any output property won't produce a warning. Known outputs from
action.yml will still be suggested for autocomplete.
