Publish Gatsby site to GitHub Pages using gh-pages

This action installs dependencies, builds Gatsby static site and then commit to GitHub Pages repository using gh-pages.

This action assumes that your Gatsby development branch sits in the same repository as the publishing branch. And the publishing directory will be the root of the branch (not for publishing to sub folders yet).
