Script to bump a library's version in the upcoming collection

[chapulina]

I used iterations of this script to open all the pull requests connected to #331, except for the gzdev one.

The script still needs a lot of work, but it's a great improvement over doing all of that by hand. Some TODO items that stand out:

• The script relies on most of the PRs not being merged. After Bump in edifice: ign-rendering to 5 gazebodistro#13 was merged, I had to pin to the previous commit.
• Running the script twice shouldn't change the output.
• The release-tools part still has a manual step
• Updating gzdev is not included yet
• Updating ign-edifice, ign-edifice-release and ign-edifice on homebrew ff4ac9c
• The coloring could be more consistent to make it easier to navigate the logs

We'll have a chance to test this script again soon when we bump sdformat and dependencies for Edifice.

Also started a README so we can start documenting what's in this repository to improve discoverability.

This script was used to address #331, #360, #361 and #362. It still requires some manual cleanup here and there, but in general I think it's a large speed up over doing all this manually. There's a lot of room for improvement, for example, using the GitHub cli to open PRs with the correct text would help even more. I wish someone else had had the chance to use it until the end, but unfortunately time didn't permit 😕

My suggestion is to get this in for now and work on improvements on top of it as we go. Let me know what you'd prefer, @j-rivero .

I agree with merging current limited support and keep improving it as long as the features enter into plans or a bit of free time to do them appear.

Thanks, Jose! The script is in a intermediate state right now while I transition to the latest format:

• Open separate gazebodistro PRs for each library
• Open PRs automatically using the gh CLI
• Enable nightlies for the bumped versions

I hope to wrap it up by the end of the day and trigger all PRs for #428 , and then we can merge it and revisit it for Ign-G.

Ok, I triggered all PRs in #428 using the latest version of the script. I think this is good as a first revision.

Merging this for now, we can revisit it when we need it in 6 months 😬
