fix(action): unexpected behaviour when watching non-existing Actions (#…

…298)

When passed an action with an unknown ID, the
`ActionClient.WatchProgress()` and `ActionClient.WatchOverallProgress()`
methods experience unexpected behaviour:

- `WatchProgress()` would panic with a nil pointer dereference when
  accessing `a.Status`
- `WatchOverallProgress()` would go into an infinite loop, never
  finishing or closing the channels.
