Automated workflows

I'm using following workflows to automate management of my dotfiles:

• automerge-release.yml - Merge changelog automated PR
• commit_validate.yml - Validate commits are using conventional commits style
• gitguardian.yml - Check for leaking secrets/tokens
• please_release.yml - Automated releases based on conventional commits
• update-readme.yml - Workflow to generate this README
