Describe the enhancement
It's extremely common (nay, the purpose) of core.setFailed to report Errors that are caught during an action. And yet, its method signature does not accept Error instances.
It would be beneficial to accept Error instances instead of requiring users to convert to strings.
Code Snippet
This would be especially beneficial for promise chains:
somePromise().then(doThing).then(doOther).then(whatever).catch(core.setFailed)
Present behavior:
core.setFailed(Error("foo")) results in: TypeError: (s || "").replace is not a function
