Generate Github Release Note and separate versions from RELEASE_NOTES

[khanhntd]

Description of the issue

The release process involves generate RELEASE_NOTEs manually by using git log --pretty=oneline and group all the merged PRs in one Enhancements and bug fixes. However, that would be hard to read and keep track of old versions features, bug fixes, enhancement and inconsistency with the RELEASE GITHUB NOTE. Therefore, by using github-changelog-generator to separate the merged PRs into these categories: new features, bug fixes, enhancement,.. based on labels and using github action actions/create-release@v1 to create a Github RELEASE_NOTE, we can address the aforementioned problems and reduce the steps to release new versions.

Following best practices with Release Note Github Template.

Description of changes

• github-changelog-generator: separate the merge PR into these categories: new features, bug fixes, enhancement,..
• actions/create-release@v1: Generate a Github release note that consistent with our RELEASE_NOTE
