Maintainace: replace `semantic-release` with `changesets`

[zimme]

I was able to install changeset-bot to this repo and prettier-eslint and you've been added to the npm packages too @JounQin.

[kylemh]

i vote yes since:

1. you're flying and I don't want to get in your way.
2. i don't care as long as we stick to mostly semantic versioning and it's easy for all of us to know how to cut releases.

[zimme]

@kylemh @idahogurl feel free to give me your npm usernames and I can add you to the npm package as admins so you can generate new keys if that's needed for this change

@idahogurl

your commit message will cause a bump. I'm going to switch my extension repo's to use it.

It's not how changesets work, changesets are based on changesets files, not commit message. We're about to control the whole release flow before we finally merge the PR created by action-bot.

@kylemh @idahogurl Shall we move forward?

I found semantic-release is bad again in the case that I want to introduce two breaking changes in one major version, it is impossible for semantic-release or we have to trick it. It is very unnatural and ridiculous.

[idahogurl]

I'm good with changing it since it is causing headaches. @JounQin I liked @kylemh suggestion of using https://intuit.github.io/auto/. Marking PRs with labels is way easier than making sure your commit message will cause a bump. I'm going to switch my extension repo's to use it.

[kylemh]

so it sounds like, just take your pick @JounQin and fire away.

[kylemh]

kylemh on NPM as well. I think you should add @JounQin if you haven't already, too. He's extremely involved in multiple large open source organizations.

[idahogurl]

Mine is idahogurl99. Agree with @kylemh about adding @JounQin

[JounQin]

I'm very familiar with changesets, but lack of experience of auto.

Do you really release every pull request?!

Yup! But if you don't want to do that it's up to you. The tools auto ships with can be used to fit any workflow! You can also use skip-release labels or configure auto to only release with a release label.

I can imagine headaches about forget adding tags. 😅 No way to add change later and confirm with a PR like changesets.

So I still vote for changesets.

@zimme Thanks, my npm account username is jounqin.

@zimme Do you have permissions to install changeset-bot?
