Problem
Preparing for release is tedious with manual steps to cut branches, extract version, tag, push to staging, copy test procedures, and opening up 2 PRs (release OR to master, backport PR to develop).
While not a huge drain of time, the procedures has been in place for years, and time adds up. An automation script can cut the prep time to just a few seconds.
Solution
Provide a bash prep scripts engineers can run to start on a release in seconds.
This PR includes no runtime code for production.
Note: This is the same script that was introduced in the backend repo in this PR
