Subject: [PATCH 1/2] build: add new GH actions to require release note updates

In this commit, we add a simple bash script to parse out the current PR
number from an environment variable in the GH actions context, and use
that to check to see if the PR has been referenced in the release notes
or not. This isn't 100% fool proof, but it should catch most of the
common cases.
