We don't need commit history for this test, so cleaning up a bit.

Could we check the last commit for changes in this directory before doing anything else? Seems like it might save us some API requests.
Another alternative could be conditioning this workflow on a check similar to the one check-backport-changelog uses.

What API requests would it save? I'm already checking if the content is different.

@vcanales What I don't like now, after the last change, is that it will only add the changes to a newly created issue after another backport was made. |
What?
Creates a new workflow to automatically sync the changelog to the right issue.
Why?
Reduce repetitive manual labor.
How?
When a change is pushed to trunk the workflow will:
When a new release cycle is started, someone can just create a new issue with the label "🤖 Sync Backport Changelog" and mention 6.7 (for example) in the title. On the next push to trunk the issue will be updated.
The script will only sync the last created issue, previous ones will be ignored and should probably be closed.
Future work
We could add a PR workflow that also adds unmerged backport PRs to the issue in the future. Worth noting that even the old cherry-pick script never took any unmerged PRs into account.
