List available action types for test creation

## Usage

```bash
ktm tests action-types [flags]
```

## Examples

```bash
# List all action types
ktm tests action-types

# List ethernet-only action types
ktm tests action-types --kind ethernet

# List SIM action types as table
ktm tests action-types --kind sim -o table
```

## Flags

| Flag | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `--kind` | string |  | Filter by owner kind: ethernet, sim, smartphone, ownerless |

## Details

List the catalog of available action types (44 types: 15 ETHERNET, 22 SIM, 3 SMARTPHONE, 4 OWNERLESS) for creating tests.

Each action type has an owner_kind that determines what device it runs on:
  ETHERNET    — runs on a web agent (hostname)
  SIM         — runs on a SIM card (MSISDN)
  SMARTPHONE  — runs on a smartphone (UUID)
  OWNERLESS   — no device needed (control flow: JAVASCRIPT, WAIT, etc.)

Use --kind to filter by owner kind.

Use the output with 'tests template <type> [type...]' to generate a ready-to-customize test.
