PR for issue #1950

What is being addressed

• Automated the following release steps:

  • Create a PR updating the URL button version in the doc, on the target branch docs/main.
  • Create a PR updating the default starter kit version in bicep, on the target branch dev

• Make sure the ARM release artefact has the correct default started kit version.

I considered creating a custom action to reduce the code duplication. I didn't implement this solution because of the following overhead:

• State: The custom action would depend on a state: the current checked out branch. This can be confusing IMO.
• A custom action can only be used it the action file is present in the branch. The custom action is not present in the docs/main branch. We could consider committing it to this branch, but it would mean maintaining this action twice.
