Add basic release content tagging workflow (#18568)
# Objective

This PR begins integrating the new releate-content drafting process
(https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/18427) into our GitHub
workflows. It's similar to what we had before: Messages are posted to
PRs tagged with `M-Needs-Release-Note` or `M-Needs-Migration-Guide`
asking them to add the required material and linking to the
instructions. These messages do not trigger if the PR already has
modified files in the `release-notes` or `migration-guides` directories
(respectively).

I have also re-arranged and content slightly (to remove the need for a
directory with the current version number), tweaked the language, and
switched the templates to use the [standard markdown frontmatter
format](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/front-matter/).

## Reviewer Questions

+ Do we want to add a CI rule actually requiring tagged PRs to
create/modify files in the correct directories, or is the message prompt
enough?
+ Do we want to add a CI rule to lint the metadata, for example to
enforce that the PR number is included in the files it modifies?

Copy the contents of this file into a new file in ./migration-guides, update the metadata, and add migration guide content here.

Goals

Aim to communicate:

  • What has changed since the last release?
  • Why did we make this breaking change?
  • How can users migrate their existing code?

Style Guide

Keep it short and sweet:

  • Use bullet points and make sure it's searchable.
  • Avoid headings. If you must, use only level-two headings.
  • Use backticks for types (e.g. Vec<T>) in either the title or the body.
  • Diff codeblocks can also be useful for succinctly communicating changes.
