Github Action that creates a new open milestone given the title and description.

This action supports the following options.

The title (version) for the milestone.

• Required: Yes
• Type: string
• Example: v1.0.0 or Magnetic North

An optional description for the milestone.

• Required: No
• Type: string

This action has only one output and that's the number output. This is the number you see in the HTML URL of the milestone and can be used to refer to in other actions when creating PR's as shown in the example below.

The following example works together with the WyriHaximus/github-action-get-previous-tag and WyriHaximus/github-action-next-semvers actions. Where it creates a new milestone based on information passed down from the previous two actions. (This snippet has been taken from the automatic code generation of wyrihaximus/fake-php-version.)
