This creates a new GitHub action to create a release branch from which additional patch releases can be generated. It takes a version (e.g., 4.1.8) and produces a new branch off of the base tag (so 4.1.8-release off of tag 4.1.8.0). This allows a maintainer to create a patch branch given our relatively restrictive branch protection rules, which generally do not allow for branch creation.
