Prepare for a new release workflow
* Release PR is created on Fridays
* The discussion/approval happens during Friday
* Sunday morning the deployment will be done in central-il and perf
tests will be run
* On Monday early IST morning gradually start rolling (starting from US
regions as they are still in weekend time)
See slack for discussion:

## Problem
If @github-actions creates release PR, the CI pipeline is not triggered
(but we have `release-notify.yml` workflow that we expect to run on this
event).
I suspect this happened because @github-actions is not a repository
member.

## Summary of changes
- Use `CI_ACCESS_TOKEN` to create a PR
- Use `gh` instead of `thomaseizinger/create-pull-request`
- Restrict permissions for GITHUB_TOKEN to `contents: write` only
(required for `git push`)
