Add event_port input to enable Firebird RemoteAuxPort (events support)

[mariuz]

Firebird uses a secondary auxiliary port (RemoteAuxPort) for database event notifications. Without a fixed, published port, event listeners from outside the container cannot function.

Changes

• action.yml: New optional event_port input (default: empty/disabled)
• entrypoint.sh: When event_port is set, injects FIREBIRD_CONF_RemoteAuxPort=<port> into the container and adds --publish <port>:<port> to the docker run invocation
• README.md: Documents the new parameter

Example

- uses: juarezr/firebirdsql-github-action@v2
  with:
    version: 'latest'
    firebird_database: 'my_database.fdb'
    firebird_root_password: 'masterkey'
    event_port: '3051'

This pins RemoteAuxPort to 3051 in firebird.conf and publishes it on the host, allowing event listeners to connect reliably.

@mariuz,

I've issued a new release with this feature.

How about adding a news item in Firebird News to make FirebirdSQL users aware of this GitHub Action?
