GH: add a workflow to check for the 'version bump' commit

This checks pull-requests to make sure the 'Version bump' commit is
immediately after the last release commit/tag.

The check includes the commits in the pull-request, so if a pull-request
is adding this commit it will accept it and also if there are other
commits in the pull-request, as long as the 'Version bump' commit is
first.
