Primarily a refactor which updates all of our actions (and post-actions) to use runInActions and, by extension, ActionState. That ensures consistency across the different actions and means we can take advantage of ActionState in their respective call trees going forward.

This PR also makes minimal changes to the entry points to start make use of ActionState there.

I have also made the Action display names that are reported in unhandled error messages when they are logged more consistent.
