Create github action to generate tag/release

[KevinMind]

Fixes: Manual release process

Description

Github action to create tags for release. You can dispatch via the action web interface or via cli. One day, maybe we will create a tag on every push to master, who knows...

Context

This is a good first step in automating the deployment phase of our release process. We already deploy to stage when a tag is pushed and this automates the generation of the tag, meaning you can deploy to stage via a button 💯

Testing

You can run this action via the github cli

gh workflow run --ref auto-tag

Then select the appropriate workflow

> Tag Repository for Release to Staging (tag-release.yml)

And select your options for push and tag

Test cases

Invalid tag

1. pass "banana" as tag

2. expect error "does not match the format YYYY.MM.DD"

3. pass "2024-03-12"

4. expect same error as above.

Invalid date

1. Pass "1999.12.31"
2. expect error "is earlier than current date"

You must provide a valid date string which is greater or equal to today's date.
