[Feature Request] Include information to recreate build in releases

[kruton]

Description

In order to have repeatable builds, the git repository commits used to build the artifacts should be uploaded along with the release as well.

There are two cases:

1. If a qmk_firmware submodule is used, this seems easy enough to do.
2. If no submodule is used, there should be a way of determining the commit that it used to build (and a way to specify it with qmk compile, I suppose).

This could be extended into providing an SBOM for the release, but just the git commit is a good starting point.

[tzarc]

Yep, fair enough.

Quick and dirty mucking about generated something like this:

I'll have a play and see if it can be standardised.

LGTM. Having it in JSON might be better, but that's exactly then info I was thinking. 👍

[tzarc]

Oh I’ll likely make it generate a manifest file as json as well. Was just seeing if I could get it to spit something relevant out; can put it directly into the release notes in markdown.
