[CNSL-1935] Add automated release PR workflow

Added GitHub Actions workflow that automatically creates release PRs
when automation/pending-deploy-* branches are merged to main. The
workflow updates go.mod and main.go for major version changes, updates
config.yaml with the new version, and regenerates the OpenAPI client to
automatically update all generated files (README.md, docs/README.md,
pkg/client/configuration.go, and other generated code).
