Create a "backport" GitHub action for moving commits between nightly, main, and release/* branches #6653

Description

@lbussell

With the latest changes to the release process, we now have official release/* branches in this repo. It'll be beneficial to maintain a release/* branch with changes from the nightly branch during a release month.

The action should:

  • Cherry pick the PR commit / apply the PR as a patch
  • Regenerate Dockerfiles and Readmes
  • Submit a pull request to the target branch.
  • Have some way of notifying the requestor if regenerating Dockerfiles/Readmes from templates failed.
