Setup staging environment for documentation

[sequba]

Description

It's useful to see the documentation release candidate before pushing it to production. The goal:

• a separate GH pages environment (gh-pages-staging) that can serve the documentation
• a special branch staging that can keep the release candidate of HyperFormula
• pushing to staging triggers a workflow that deploys the documentation to gh-pages-staging

Staging is up and running

It's hosted via GH Pages from the repository https://github.com/handsontable/hyperformula-staging (fork of the hyperformula repository).
