GitHub action for releases

[joeflack4]

Overview

Right now we have several inputs to the ICD11 build:

1. icd11foundation OWL file: static (though later, this will get updated when there are new releases)
2. mondo.sssom.tsv
3. ORDO->ICD11 mappings (via ORDO nomenclature file)

Since these inputs are updated routinely, the outputs / release also should be. Most important will be (1) whenever we are able to get the WHO to create a stable URL with updates to their OWL output. (3) is also important, and changes every 12 months (soon to be every 6 months, possibly). Input (2) changes often.

The task here would be to basically have the action do a make all and make release.

Prior to this PR, the reason to not create a GitHub action is because the URL tied to icd11foundation.owl is to a static, past release, as opposed to a 'latest' release that gets updated regularly. We do want to change this if we can though; see:

• ICD11: Syncing with latest source from WHO #8

In the case of ordo-icd11.sssom.tsv, though, this will be updatable every July, as that is when the nomenclature files are released. So we could theoretically have an action that runs and detects a new nomenclature file and then makes a release. We could set this to run every year in July/August. Or, since the exact release date is variable, and if we want to get the release out quickly after they do their release, we could set it this action to run like daily/weekly, and if it detects a new nomenclature release, it does its thing, else quits. So it would run often but only make a new release once a year.
