Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I have a GitHub Actions workflow that uses rhysd/actionlint to lint GitHub Actions workflow files. As per its own documentation it is used by running a bash script to download and install the tool.

I however changed the value of main to the SHA so that it is pinned:

- name: Lint workflows
  shell: bash
  env:
    ACTIONLINT_VERSION: '7b75d16d41920ec126e6f3269db0c6f3ab613c38' # v1.6.25
  run: |
    echo "::add-matcher::.github/actionlint-matcher.json"
    bash <(curl --silent --show-error "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rhysd/actionlint/${ACTIONLINT_VERSION}/scripts/download-actionlint.bash")
    ./actionlint -color

This was then flagged as an unpinned dependency as the code doesn't walk the whole step to find the referenced environment variable is a SHA to pin the download. It would be nice if it did, but it's understandable that it doesn't support that.

I then refactored to remove the environment variable like so:

- name: Lint workflows
  shell: bash
  run: |
    echo "::add-matcher::.github/actionlint-matcher.json"
    bash <(curl --silent --show-error "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rhysd/actionlint/7b75d16d41920ec126e6f3269db0c6f3ab613c38/scripts/download-actionlint.bash")
    ./actionlint -color

This however still flags the warning:

Reason

dependency not pinned by hash detected -- score normalized to 6

Details

Warn: downloadThenRun not pinned by hash: .github/workflows/lint.yml:37
Info: GitHub-owned GitHubActions are pinned
Info: Third-party GitHubActions are pinned
Info: Dockerfile dependencies are pinned
Info: Pip installs are pinned

Describe the solution you'd like

The Pinned-Dependencies rule is able to correctly determine that URLs of this format to raw GitHub content in repositories are pinned.

Describe alternatives you've considered

None.

Additional context

None.

I'm going to have a quick look to see if I can fix this myself.
