Add release action

[frankharkins]

Adds an action to upload notebooks to directus database.

• Each notebook folder can now contain a directus_info.json which contains a link to the directus database, plus the lesson ID.
• The release.py script compresses the folder and uploads it. You can test this out locally using

  python release.py notebooks/**/*.ipynb

• I've added an action to do this automatically on pushing to dev/v3.x

@frankharkins this is great! thank you!

a couple comments

• what about the case of new content being added? is it expected that the first time the content needs to be updated manually?
• if and when the URLs change it would require finding/changing every info file and updating accordingly. would it make sense to have the URLs hardcoded in the release.py and just choose the appropriate one based on the env? that way only one place would need to be updated when URL changes.

@vabarbosa thanks!

For MVP yes, with a view to maybe using a TOC file in the future. I'll update the documentation.

That's a much better idea – thanks :)
