Support for .NET Projects in Release Please Action Release Types Supported #1002

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Yes, the problem is that the current Release Please GitHub Action does not support .NET projects. This limitation makes it challenging for developers using .NET to automate release notes generation and versioning, a feature widely available for other languages like Node.js, Python, etc.

Describe the solution you'd like I would like the Release Please GitHub Action to include support for .NET projects. This should handle versioning within .csproj, .fsproj, or .vbproj files and generate release notes based on conventional commits.

Describe alternatives you've considered An alternative has been manually updating project files and generating release notes, which is error-prone and time-consuming. Another option could be using separate tools for versioning and changelog generation, but this lacks the integration and ease of use that a single GitHub Action could offer. I'm current using simple.

Additional context Adding .NET support would significantly benefit the .NET developer community by providing tooling consistency across different technology stacks and streamlining the release process in CI/CD pipelines for .NET applications.

Thank you very much for all your hard work and efforts. I highly appreciated.
