 Syncing Gutenberg package updates back to a WordPress core branch can be
 done with the `npm run sync-gutenberg-packages -- --dist-tag=wp-x.x`
 command, but this can slow down the release of branches, especially when
 multiple backports are needed. Ideally this could be done ahead of time in
 a GitHub Actions workflow which allows the build and tests to run to
 ensure they're passing before backports are started.

 A GitHub Actions workflow should be introduced which:

 * Accepts a WordPress version number input in `major.minor` format
 * Runs `npm install`
 * Runs `npm run sync-gutenberg-packages -- --dist-tag=wp-x.x` where `x.x`
 is the branch
 * Commits and opens a PR against the branch
 * Runs the build and the tests
