/**
* A placeholder action that, at execution time, expands into a list of {@link Action}s to be
* executed.
*
* <p>ActionTemplate is for users who want to dynamically register Actions operating on individual
* {@link TreeFileArtifact} inside input and output TreeArtifacts at execution time.
*
* <p>It takes in one TreeArtifact and generates one TreeArtifact. The following happens at
* execution time for ActionTemplate:
*
* <ol>
* <li>Input TreeArtifact is resolved.
* <li>For each individual {@link TreeFileArtifact} inside input TreeArtifact, generate an output
* {@link TreeFileArtifact} inside output TreeArtifact.
* <li>For each pair of input and output {@link TreeFileArtifact}s, generate an associated {@link
* Action}.
* <li>All expanded {@link Action}s are executed and their output {@link TreeFileArtifact}s
* collected.
* <li>Output TreeArtifact is resolved.
* </ol>
*
* <p>Implementations of ActionTemplate must follow the contract of this interface and also make
* sure:
*
* <ol>
* <li>ActionTemplate instances should be immutable and side-effect free.
* <li>ActionTemplate inputs and outputs are supersets of the inputs and outputs of expanded
* actions, excluding inputs discovered at execution time. This ensures the ActionTemplate can
* properly represent the expanded actions at analysis time, and the action graph at analysis
* time is correct. This is important because the action graph is walked in a lot of places
* for correctness checks and build analysis.
* <li>The outputs of expanded actions must be under the output TreeArtifact and must not have
* artifact or artifact path prefix conflicts.
* </ol>
