Cannot register multiple runners for the same org.

[nagarutu]

I was trying to create multiple github runnner for an Org, using indididual repo keys,

- name: Install Runner1 on github-runners-ubuntu
  hosts: github-runners-ubuntu

  roles:
    - role: ansible-github-actions-runner
      vars:
        gh_runner_config_labels:
          - ubuntu22
          - linux
          - self-hosted
        gh_runner_config_url: https://github.com/acme.net
        gh_runner_config_token: APERFECTLYFINETOKEN
        gh_runner_config_name: ubuntu-runner1
        gh_runner_allow_runasroot: "Refuse"

    - role: ansible-github-actions-runner
      vars:
        gh_runner_config_labels:
          - ubuntu22
          - linux
          - self-hosted
        gh_runner_config_url: https://github.com/acme.net
        gh_runner_config_token: ANOTHERPERFECTLYFINETOKEN
        gh_runner_config_name: ubuntu-runner2
        gh_runner_allow_runasroot: "Refuse"

I expected this to create two runners for on the host and that they both would be online.
Instead it replaced the first runner with the second one.

Ive been looking at the code to understand why its replacing the existing one instead of generating a separate one, but Im not able to figure it out as of yet so figured Id put in an Issue.

It seems that If i keep the runners in separate folders by specifying the path for each runner with:
gh_runner_installation_path

This seems to solve the situation for me.

Adding to this, I had to also set 'gh_runner_workspace_path' to be unique for every runner, otherwise i sometime got error for missing files in '/var/cache/github-actions-runner' folder.
