Adding profanity check to Github comments using Github Action.

I started with building a comments-emoji action which would translate your issue and PR comments to emojis. The idea behind it was to get started with Github Action.

Now, new ideas keep poping and as a result here is another addition to Github Action comments-emoji, this time its something helpful for Open Source Maintainers.

My Workflow

With addition of this new feature, now user can enable profanity check using comments-emoji action.

To benefit this feature, user has to add input enablePolice flag with value "true" in there workflow.

As a result the comments-emoji action will replace all bad words with emoji 🤐.
