chore: add-patch-release-docs-and-workflow

[ryanbas21]

JIRA Ticket

TBD

Description

I wanted to have an automated way for us to release patches. Because we merge to main, the cleanest way, as per trunk based development is to do the following:

• identity bug fix on main
• fix bug fix on main
• cherry pick the commit onto the latest release branch
• verify it
• push up branch to github
• execute workflow dispatch provided here, passing in the branch to release from.

the patch release should have a changeset (probably with the cherry-picked commit)

This way we A) have a standard process to release and B) release with provenance even for bug patches.

it's not required, but thought it would be helpful to have.
