Description
If I have a workflow that contains multiple pnpm jobs is there an easy way to have pnpm/action-setup in each so that is doesn't delete the dest folder each time it runs (when cached)? I'd like to keep the action in all jobs just to make sure pnpm is installed but the following line of code seems to delete the entire pnpm store directory each time it runs:
Would an option to skip if already installed be worth having?
Thanks

Research direction
Start by reading src/install-pnpm/run.ts at line 14, where the issue reports that the pnpm store directory is deleted. Trace how repeated action-setup runs handle an existing destination, then determine how a skip-if-already-installed option should behave across multiple jobs. Done means repeated setup does not remove the existing pnpm store while still ensuring pnpm is installed.
