(#6814) Create a dedicated Action class

This class will represents an action, and allows us to store metadata for an
action, and programmatically introspect and invoke them. A helper class
ActionBuilder represents the DSL for defining an action.

Also defined an "invoke" DSL method to handle the functionality of defining the
method for an action.
