Adding `modules-pr-backporter` GitHub Action.
A GitHub action which enables pull requests to be successfully merged
into a submodule repository taking into account the multiple versions.
When a pull request is created / updated a new set of branches under
`pr/backports/<pr-number>/<sequence-number>` are created with the
patches in the pull request applied.
For example, if the pull request as `#5` and the repository has branches
`master`, `branch-0.0.2` and `branch-0.0.1` then the GitHub Action would
create;
* `pr/backports/5/000/master`
* `pr/backports/5/000/branch-0.0.2`
* `pr/backports/5/000/branch-0.0.1`
When a pull request is ready to be merged, the `ready-to-merge` label
is added. The GitHub action then makes the
`pr/backports/<pr-number>/<sequence-number>/<branch-name>` branches
the repositories `<branch-name>`. For example;
* `pr/backports/<pr-number>/<sequence-number>/master`
becomes `/master`
* `pr/backports/<pr-number>/<sequence-number>/branch-0.0.2`
becomes `/branch-0.0.2`
