Nightly Release

Nightly Release #20

# Part of the Carbon Language project, under the Apache License v2.0 with LLVM
# Exceptions. See /LICENSE for license information.
# SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0 WITH LLVM-exception
#
# This workflow creates a GitHub "release" of a nightly build of the project.
#
# Note: This is just an initial rough attempt, there is a lot of future work
# needed here. A brief summary of TODOs:
#
# - Configure a nice release notes template and switch to generating the title
# and notes instead of hard coding them.
#
# - Do some amount of testing prior to building and uploading the release.
# - Tempting to try to examine existing testing workflow, but maybe better to
# allow re-using any complex parts and do our own testing. That would, for
# example, allow us to narrow or expand the set of tests uses for
# pre-release testing to potentially be different from continuous testing.
# - Some questions around what to do in the event of a failure... error? Where
# does the error go? Create a draft, unpublished release instead?
#
# - Build artifacts for all the different OSes we have GitHub runners for rather
# than just x86 Linux.
