Addresses #490
Closes #486
Depends on napari/napari.github.io#417

Description

This action will build and deploy docs for a new release, copying the built docs artifacts to both the dev and the {version} folders in napari.github.io. It will also update the stable symlink to point to the new version folder.

This action will be triggered by a new release tag pushed to the repo or by manually trigerring the action with an input specifying the new version (any input different from the default dev will trigger the action.)

I am creating this as a draft, since there will need to be at least some docs written around this strategy, and I was hoping to get some feedback before we commit to it.

This could potentially create a wrong folder if the wrong version string is passed as input to the action.

I'm not sure how to validate this entry :(

I think this makes sense to me and would make releases easier--they're happening more frequently now, so it's worth it!
