Automate GitHub Release

[domoscargin]

What

resolves #5608

Automates our GitHub releases through a workflow_dispatch GitHub Actions workflow.

The workflow creates a GitHub tag for the version in the package.json file. It also creates a zip file, and generates release notes from the CHANGELOG, before creating a release.

If the tag or the release already exist, the job will fail, and these will need to be manually deleted via the UI.

Notes

It's possible to skip the tag creation step, since gh release automatically creates a tag for the release if it doesn't exist. This PR keeps this step so that the tags/release are fully consistent with every previous release tag on the repo.

Action run for 6e45dfa

#5635 has been updated so this just needs a rebase and then we can review properly.

[owenatgov]

One non-blocking comment. I don't have anything to add, this looks grand to me!

I don't know if we want to merge now or wait for #5635 to be mergable and then merge this into main. Up to you.

Worth linking to the tags UI for ease?

Suggested change

1. Open the ["RELEASE: Publish to GitHub" workflow](https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-frontend/actions/workflows/publish-release-to-github.yaml) and run the workflow on the `main` branch. This will generate a GitHub tag and release. If the workflow fails after creating a tag, or after creating a release, you'll need to manually delete these via the GitHub UI before running the workflow again.
