ci: setup release-please (#317)
##### SUMMARY

The current release process for this project requires multiple manual
local steps to prepare and then tag the release. This introduces the
standard release-please workflow we have in most of our integrations.

Release-please will open a new PR whenever there is a releasable change
and it updates the CHANGELOG & other files automatically in this PR.
Once the PR is merged a new tag is created.

This repository has some additional complexity as it uses
`antsibull-changelog` to maintain the user-facing changelog. This is
implemented ina second job in the `release-please` workflow which
executes when the release-please PR is updated and then runs
`antsibull-changelog release` against the version. The resulting changes
are pushed as a second commit to the same PR.

# Ansible Collection: hetzner.hcloud
Ansible Hetzner Cloud Collection for controlling your Hetzner Cloud Resources.
### Python version compatibility
This collection depends on the [hcloud](https://github.com/hetznercloud/hcloud-python) library. Due to the [hcloud](https://github.com/hetznercloud/hcloud-python) Python Support Policy this collection requires Python 3.8 or greater.
## Release notes
See [here](https://github.com/ansible-collections/hetzner.hcloud/tree/master/CHANGELOG.rst).
### Release policy
The `main` branch is used for the development of the latest versions of the collections, and may contain breaking changes. The `stable-*` branches (e.g. `stable-1` for the `1.x.y` releases) are used to cut additional minor or patch releases if needed, but we do not provide official support for multiple versions of the collection.
## Documentation
The documentation for all modules are available through `ansible-doc`.
Sample: `ansible-doc hetzner.hcloud.hcloud_server` shows the documentation for the `hcloud_server` module.
For all modules that were part of Ansible directly (before Ansible 2.11) we also have the documentation published in the
Ansible documentation: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/hetzner/hcloud/
# Development
## Requirements
You should place the collection (clone the repository) into the Ansible collection path. Normally this
is `~/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/<namespace>/<collection`, so for our collection it would
be: `~/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/hetzner/hcloud`.
```
git clone git@github.com:ansible-collections/hetzner.hcloud.git ~/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/hetzner/hcloud
```
After this you just need `ansible` installed.
## Testing
Testing is done via `ansible-test`. Make sure to have a `cloud-config-hcloud.ini` file in `tests/integration` which
contains the hcloud API token:
```
[default]
hcloud_api_token=<token>
```
After this you should be able to use `ansible-test integration` to perform the integration tests for a specific module.
Sample:
```
ansible-test integration --color --local -vvv hcloud_server // Executed all integration tests for hcloud_server module
```
## Releasing a new version
If there are releasable changes, `release-please` will open a PR on GitHub with the proposed version. When this PR is merged, `release-please` will tag the release.
