Generate readme in CI

Discussed in #542 (comment). What do you think about something like this @sw-yx and @eps1lon?

[swyxio]

yup that works!

Commits by GitHub actions will not themselves trigger GitHub actions. So if we have any required GitHub action in the PR checks (like formatting should be), we'll never be able to get a mergable PR.

Assuming your pink meant this was ready for review. Draft usually means "work inprogress"/cannot be merged.

Thanks @eps1lon. My draft and ping was meant to get some early thoughts on the approach before I continued, but I see how this is probably not an approach worth exploring further. Also read through #511 again and I agree collaborating with a bot on a branch is probably not a good idea.

Do you see any middle ground here? Some other way to make it easier for contributors, while avoiding introducing other problems?

[eps1lon]

Reading the checks and fixing them is really not too much to ask. There's a error directly pointing to the step that includes the command to fix that. The rest can be guided by maintainers. But removal of the notion of "required" checks is a step backwards in other parts of the contributing story.

I feel for those making a quick typo fix in the GitHub UI, but I guess you're right. Closing this!
