Fixes #734
This PR adds a github actions on-demand workflow that contains necessary steps to prepare a release. This workflow is modelled after the script https://github.com/argoproj-labs/argocd-image-updater/blob/master/hack/release.sh, minus the last few steps in the end.
Note that this workflow only prepares the release, and the responsible release engineer is still responsible for verifying the output, and continue with further manual steps in order to finish the releasing.
A screenshot of the workflow input fields:

After a successful test run of the workflow in my fork, the following test PR in my fork was created:
