Automate version and release management using changie

This action creates a new PR with an updated CHANGELOG.md file. When merged it will automatically create a new tag and trigger another GitHub action workflow that can then do the actual release.

The workflow is inspired both by changie and @changesets/action

Usage

name: Test changes

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - 'main'

        # Optionally run a command with the new version number when the new
        # version is determined.
        version-command: 'echo "New version is $PACKAGE_VERSION" > version.txt'

        # Trigger another release workflow to do the actual release.
        # Set to for example `release.yaml` to trigger that workflow.

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
