Add workflow to generate release notes

[amontanez24]

Problem Description

As a maintaner, it is quite time consuming to create a list of all the issues completed in the release, mark the author and sort them into appropriate categories. It would be nice to have a way to automate this process and speed up the creation of release notes so that releases could be done faster.

Expected behavior

Add a Github workflow that takes in a release version and date and opens a PR that updates the HISTORY.md with the new release notes.

The notes should be in the following format:

## vX.Y.Z - YYYY-MM-DD

### New Features

* {issue-name} - Issue [#{issue-number}]({issue-link}) by author
...

### Bugs Fixed

...

### Maintenance

...

Additional context

• You can assume all issues will be tagged with the appropriate milestone.
• If an issue doesn't have anyone assigned to it, skip the by @author part
• If an issue doesn't have a tag for our common header (ie. New Features, Bugs Fixed etc.), use the header Misc.
