Generate a list of changed files when a new version is tagged

[desrosj]

The HelpHub includes a section for listing all files changed during a release. Generating this list of files is usually done by manually running an SVN or Git command.

svn diff --summarize https://core.svn.wordpress.org/tags/6.1.1 https://core.svn.wordpress.org/branches/6.2 | grep '^M'

As an example, this gives a list of files modified from 6.1.1 to 6.2. I don’t have the equivalent command handy, but this can also easily be accomplished using Git.

Generating a list of files requires a level of technical knowledge (checking out a repository, running a CLI command), but it shouldn’t.

When a new version is tagged, a GotHub Action should run and generate the list of files so that any contributor can use the list to update documentation in the HelpHub, or wherever else it’s needed.

This is a must.
Even for security reasons.
Some security plugins send a log of changed files. Sometimes is useful to confirm it's a Core change and not a malicious one.

This issue appears to be an improvement to the development flow itself, and not a required task for the 6.9 release. I will change the milestone to 7.0, but please let me know if I missed anything.
