🔧 Repository: Automate docs table updates

[awanlin]

📜 Description

Currently it's a somewhat manual process to update the various tables we have in our docs, for example: #7540

The tables that should get updated are in these locations:

• https://github.com/backstage/community-plugins/blob/main/docs/README.md#workspaces-and-their-plugins
• https://github.com/backstage/community-plugins/blob/main/docs/compatibility/compatibility.md
• https://github.com/backstage/community-plugins/blob/main/docs/compatibility/new-frontend-system.md

👍 Expected behavior

It would be great if we had a GitHub action we could trigger on demand that would generate a similar PR as the above.

First we would need to update the list-compatibility and list-workspaces-for-docs scripts to work the same way as the list-feature script where it injects the results into the respective Markdown file.

Then these scripts could then be called in a GitHub action with a manual dispatch trigger and the results raised in a PR.

👎 Current Behavior

We have to manually generate the PR by running the various scripts which means we don't keep this informaiton as up to date as we should.

Done, if you have questions or need help with direction just post here but I think I put enough in the description that you should be able to run with this pretty far on your own 🚀
