What this PR does / why we need it:

Added a new template variable for RenderTemplate configs: ${template.path}. This is the absolute path to the config template being rendered. This is useful when you want to use the full path to a file or directory next to the ConfigTemplate that's being rendered (e.g. to use a shared Dockerfile that belongs the template, every time you render that template).

Which issue(s) this PR fixes:

Added a new template variable for `RenderTemplate` configs:
`${template.path}`. This is the absolute path to the config template
being rendered. This is useful when you want to use the full path to a
file or directory next to the `ConfigTemplate` that's being rendered
(e.g. to use a shared Dockerfile that belongs the template, every time

Wouldn't this cause an issue where the version calculation is different depending on the directory where the git repository has been checked out in?
Also, most of the time we do not accept absolute paths in the action specs.
Maybe we need to calculate the relative path to the ConfigTemplate from the location of the RenderConfigTemplate.

Ah yeah, that's a good point. Relative paths would avoid the versioning problem.
