Release flow

How and when the operator version is changed

The single source of truth is the changelog.

Currently, version is updated when a developer decides to release a new version by manually invoking create-release-pr workflow in Github Actions:

• invoke create-release-pr workflow
• changie tool automatically bumps the version and generates an updated CHANGELOG.md
• if a generated CHANGELOG.md looks okay, just merge it
• the upload-artifacts workflow will:
  • substitute the latest version in Chart.yaml
  • build artifacts (docker image and helm chart) and upload them to all configured registries
  • create a new Github release
