Automate Release

[robyngit]

Releasing a new version of MetacatUI is tedious as it requires dozens of manual steps, see #2592 for an example. Much of this could be automated, for example:

• Write a script that automates
  • reserves the new DOI from ezid
  • updating the version numbers & DOI
  • building the docs
  • committing the changes
  • making the PR from develop to main
• Write a script that automates
  • merging develop into main
  • tagging the release
  • making the release on GitHub
• Make the two scripts above a GitHub action
• Auto-generate the release notes from the commit messages
• Write a script that updates the DataCite XML automatically and pushes it to EZID
