Add command to "repository_dispatch" in GitHub Action

[ad-m]

GitHub Actions support external events via "repository_dispatch" API request ( https://help.github.com/en/actions/automating-your-workflow-with-github-actions/events-that-trigger-workflows#external-events-repository_dispatch ) Slak sounds like the optimal solution (interface) to perform these API requests.

Related #940, because title is very generic.

#940 is to be notified on slack when an action fails, i.e. github actions -> slack

This ticket is to trigger an action from a slack command, i.e. slack -> github actions.

If i'm understanding correctly these are 2 completely separate tickets.

Is this still relevant? If so, just comment with any updates and we'll leave it open. Otherwise, if there is no further activity, it will be closed.

Our organization would use this feature a lot - it would make chatops implementation way cleaner.
