Add workflow to bump version and create pull request

[IvanMurzak]

This pull request adds a new GitHub Actions workflow to automate the process of bumping the project version. The workflow allows maintainers to manually trigger a version bump, validates the version format, creates a release branch, runs a version update script, and opens a pull request with the changes.

Automation for version bumping:

• Added a new workflow file .github/workflows/bump_version.yml that enables maintainers to manually trigger a version bump via workflow dispatch, validates the version input, creates a release branch, runs the bump-version.ps1 script, commits and pushes the changes, and automatically opens a pull request for the version bump.

Pull request overview

Adds a manually-triggered GitHub Actions workflow to automate version bumping by creating a release branch, running the existing PowerShell bump script, committing/pushing changes, and opening a PR.

Changes:

• Introduces .github/workflows/bump_version.yml workflow_dispatch input for a target version.
• Validates the version input, creates a release/<version> branch, runs commands/bump-version.ps1, commits/pushes, and creates a PR via gh.

The workflow doesn’t declare permissions, so git push and/or gh pr create may fail in repos where the default GITHUB_TOKEN permissions are read-only. Add explicit permissions (at workflow or job level) for contents: write and pull-requests: write (and keep other scopes minimal).

The version validation regex only allows X.Y.Z, but commands/bump-version.ps1 accepts full semver including pre-release/build metadata (e.g. 1.2.3-rc.1, 1.2.3+build.5). Align the workflow validation with the script’s Test-SemanticVersion pattern, or intentionally restrict inputs and update the script/description accordingly.

This hard-codes a personal name/email for commits made by the workflow, which can be misleading for auditability and may expose personal contact info in git history. Consider using the standard github-actions[bot] identity (or ${{ github.actor }} where appropriate) and a no-reply email.

commands/bump-version.ps1 can exit successfully without changing files (e.g. when the new version equals the current version), which will cause git commit to fail with “nothing to commit” and break the workflow. Add a conditional check for a dirty working tree (or git diff --quiet) and skip commit/push/PR creation when there are no changes.
