Automate release (redis#2977)

* release-it/bumper

* remove git:false

* fix package ordering

* adjust git add

* fix git config

* adjust git config for all packages

* add noop release script for test-utils

* no need to try to release root

* better way to handle skipping

* pass parameters down

* better version hint

* update node version

* return git arguments from before

* rename release workflow

* rename workflow

* set git.tagMatch

* add link to docs

* update description

* update workspace order in package-lock

* fix secondary releases

release-it/bumper was removing the ^ before the peerDep to client
npm is not happy with that. one potential fix would be to bump all
packages together as a prestep and then proceed without bupming again.
for now, this fix should bring us to the previous state ( what was used
in the manual process )

* require clean working dir in root

* remove root release-it config

not needed
