faker Automate RubyGems release using CI workflow

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe it.

Right now, we need to do manual releases using the gem build faker.gemspec and gem push faker-2.23.0.

We'd like to automate this workflow and once we create a GitHub release/tag, the version should be released automatically.

Yeah, but anyone wants to take this up, feel free to assign this to them. I added PR for work I did till now for reference.
