This PR adds a GitHub Actions workflow that runs on demand with workflow_dispatch that will generate a new Git tag from master given the Semver part (major, minor, patch) that is typed in (any other choice will cause the workflow to fail). The workflow uses a GitHub Personal Access Token (saved under the project's Actions secrets as ACCESS_TOKEN) to push back to the project and trigger other workflows on the successful tag.
The PR also adds information on how to use the GitHub Action to make a tag for a release, but keeps information on how to do the same while running locally.
