Provide major (and minor) tags

[TonyRL]

Prerequisites

• I have written a descriptive issue title
• I have searched existing issues to ensure the feature has not already been requested

🚀 Feature Proposal

Provides major tag v2 and possible v3 in the future which tag to the latest appropriate commit.
(Side note: I saw you provides v1 which tags to the same commit as v1.0.0)

Motivation

As it is stated in GitHub Docs https://docs.github.com/en/actions/creating-actions/releasing-and-maintaining-actions#example-developer-process

We recommend creating releases using semantically versioned tags – for example, v1.1.3 – and keeping major (v1) and minor (v1.1) tags current to the latest appropriate commit. For more information, see "About custom actions" and "About semantic versioning.

@salmanm this would be a good idea to include in the release automation work you're doing

[salmanm]

Sure, we could add a command like this after release is published successfully

@ja-bravo will look into this

+1, this would further cut down on bot messages in the Fastify org feed.

Yes I also agree it's a good idea, I remember we met discussing it in other issues. Nevertheless I want this to be automated, otherwise it's just additional manual effort that we have to put in whenever we do a release. Hence, support this in the release automation action we're working on

It's not really solved yet, we need to use the action

Published the v3 major and minor tag, but it is not fully automated.
