Build out CI/CD pipeline

[soord]

We want to build out a CI/CD pipeline in order to streamline our releases. This should include running tests and release process in an automated and easy to use pipeline.

(Is this done already?)

[rinchen]

Not done currently. Right now it's submit a bunch of PRs so codeql runs and our massive test suite runs again

1. Build binaries on github from main (manual run) and test
2. bump deps if not done
3. run release.sh
4. Create the release itself

[rinchen]

I have a few things that fire on every PR and then a smaller number for every tagged release. I'm using release.sh to ensure everything is done properly, then the github actions run to both build the release and also build the images with all the artifacts for the release

[soord]

Yeah so this can def be updated from that. Would probably require permissions to be awarded and is probably lower priority though

[rinchen]

I do have two docs as starters for this, docs/ci-cd.md and docs/release-process.md for when we get to this.

I would love for this to also enable merge queues with strict_required_status_checks_policy = true
