Create production release

[roryabraham]

Details

Creates a Github Release to trigger a production deploy. The release body just has the list of PRs which it includes for now. This code should make it pretty easy to add more changelog notes and/or other files or artifacts with the release.

Fixed Issues

Fixes https://github.com/Expensify/Expensify/issues/155221

Tests

Still haven't tested action-gh-release in Public-Test-Repo.

To live-test this PR:

0. Merge this PR
1. Close a StagingDeployCash, and assuming Create finishReleaseCycle workflow #1858 is working as expected, then the production job of the deploy workflow should be triggered.
2. It should then create a Github Release matching the tag from the StagingDeployCash that was closed.
3. That should trigger all the platform-specific deploy workflows (although the actual production deploy may be skipped for the time being, until we flip the switch).

I think the last error we saw last night was caused because there were no existing releases. We could add code to handle that edge case, but instead I think we can just create a release using the UI.

Created here

That doesn't match the docs!

😠 ... probably has to do with the commit hash we're pointing at

[roryabraham]

Yeah, we're pointing at b7e450d, and:

I'm just going to point at the latest commit. PR here
