[Feature]: Automate releases notes using GitHub Actions

[tomvothecoder]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

The typical workflow for working with release notes is as follows:

1. Go to GitHub Releases and fill out details with new release
2. Click the autogenerate release notes features
3. Format release notes and save as draft
4. Convert release notes to .rst
5. Copy to HISTORY.rst file, which is the changelog for the repo's documentation
6. Merge the PR with the version bump
7. Release on GitHub

This is a fairly tedious process that is easy to forget.
