This commit introduces a github actions workflow to introduce a CHANGELOG.md file that is automatically updated when a new GitHub release is published in this repo. The automated-changelog-gh action is added in `prepend` mode i.e. when triggered through a release publishing it will prepend the CHANGELOG.md file with the changelog for the latest release. This ensure any manual changes are reserved but requires us to instantiate a CHANGELOG.md file with the changelog for previous releases backfilled. This can be simply done by heading over to the Actions tab in the repo and running it manually for the first time with mode set to `full`. The github-actions[bot] will open a PR instead of pushing commit directly to the default branch. Resolves temporalio#296
