cookiecutter: Add workflow to check for release notes update
This workflow will check PRs to see if a change was done in the `src/` directory, and if so, it will fail if the `RELEASE_NOTES.md` wasn't also updated. Users can override this by assigning the label `cmd:skip-release-notes` to the PR for changes that don't really need a release notes update. Signed-off-by: Leandro Lucarella <[email protected]>

## Upgrading

<!-- Here goes notes on how to upgrade from previous versions, including deprecations and what they should be replaced with -->

- To make the new workflow to check if release notes were updated you should add the check to the branch protection rules of your repository to require this check to pass. You should also add a new label *"cmd:skip-release-notes"* to be able to override the check. You can use the following script to do it:
10+
11+
```sh
12+
repo=... # org/repo
13+
token=... # GitHub token with the correct permissions
14+
name="cmd:skip-release-notes"
15+
desc="It is not necessary to update release notes for this PR"
16+
color="930F79"
17+
18+
# Using cURL
19+
curl -L \
20+
-X POST \
21+
-H "Accept: application/vnd.github+json" \
22+
-H "Authorization: Bearer $token" \
23+
-H "X-GitHub-Api-Version: 2022-11-28" \
24+
-d '{"name":"'"$name"'","description":"'"$desc"'","color":"'"$color"'"}' \
25+
"https://api.github.com/repos/$repo/labels"
26+
27+
# Using the gh tool (no need for a token if you already have it configured)
28+
gh api -X POST \
29+
-f name="$name" -f description="$desc" -f color="$color" \
30+
"repos/$repo/labels"

```

### Configure the release notes check GitHub workflow
113+
114+
By default a workflow to check if the release notes were updated is
115+
included. This workflow will check PRs to see if a change was done in the
116+
`src/` directory, and if so, it will fail if the `RELEASE_NOTES.md` wasn't also
117+
updated.
118+
119+
But this check will not be enforced unless some extra configuration is done. To
120+
enforce the check for PRs to be merged you need to go to the *GitHub repository
121+
-> Settings -> Branches* and select the rule for the branch you want to protect.
122+
123+
Then in the rules search for the *Require status checks to pass before merging*
124+
checkbox and search for *"Check release notes are updated"* in the search box.
125+
126+
As sometimes it is OK for PRs not to have release notes, as maybe some changes
127+
don't impact the end user, this workflow can be overridden by assigning the
128+
label `cmd:skip-release-notes` to the PR. To be able to do this, you also need
129+
to add that label to the repository.
130+
131+
You can do this from the GitHub web interface, or using one of the following
132+
commands:
133+
134+
```sh
135+
repo=... # org/repo
136+
token=... # GitHub token with the correct permissions
137+
name="cmd:skip-release-notes"
138+
desc="It is not necessary to update release notes for this PR"
