Add ability to run shell commands in a single step and across steps more easily

[cbruno10]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. If I want to run shell commands to install an external tool, run it, and then manipulate the output, right now I need to either run it in a function or create a custom image to perform those steps.

I can also push all commands into a single container step type's cmd args, but that feels clunky.

Describe the solution you'd like The ability to run commands in a container that persists across a pipeline run, similar to GitHub actions, e.g.,

      - name: Clone repo
        run: |
          mkdir new_dir
          cd new_dir
          git clone -b main https://github.com/turbot/flowpipe.git
          cd flowpipe
          # Build flowpipe

      - name: Install mod and run
        run: |
          cd ..
          mkdir mods
          cd mods
          flowpipe mod install ...
          flowpipe pipeline run ...

Describe alternatives you've considered Run all of the commands in a single container step, use function steps, or build a custom image wand use source arg.
