Reduce toil in reviewing Go toolchain bump pull requests #11471

@andyfeller

Description

@andyfeller

Describe the feature or problem you’d like to solve

I would like the pull requests created by the Bump Go workflow to:

  1. automatically trigger CI without needing to push an empty commit
  2. more information about the Go toolchain release being upgraded

This would allow me as a CLI maintainer to stream line reviewing and approving changes.

Proposed solution

The following proposals are based on the most recent bump in #11467:

  1. Use a PAT within the bump-go.yml workflow to trigger CI

  2. Enhance the pull request body similar to Dependabot experience to contain:

    1. Link to the Go toolchain section within the Go release notes
    2. List of golang/go issues included in the release

Additional context

From #11372:

It would be nice if the pull request listed the issues, but it isn't the end of the world for maintainers to click a link and dig into the results.
