add health checks for breaking changes, changelogs, pubspecs, etc

[jakemac53]

Add a health check job that checks various things, such as changelog entries and proper semver.

Would avoid issues such as the one in #8291 where breaking changes are accidentally released in non-breaking versions.

I am not actually sure this works with repos that are a mixture of flutter and dart packages, we might need some extra functionality from the health check tool if this fails on the non-flutter packages.

cc @bkonyi I also see this failure https://github.com/flutter/devtools/actions/runs/10780298465 it looks like there is a transitive dep on a new GitHub action, and those have to be allow listed somehow. Any ideas?

Sorry for the delayed response. I'll be honest, I know nothing about GitHub actions 😬

@kenzieschmoll do you have any ideas how this check is set up? Maybe something in the admin settings for the repo?

[jakemac53]

It looks like it probably is in the settings for the repo, see https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/enabling-features-for-your-repository/managing-github-actions-settings-for-a-repository. We will need an admin to approve of this new action and add it to the list.

Does anybody know who an admin is for this repo? cc @devoncarew @kevmoo ?

For repos in the flutter/ github org, you'll want @Piinks (and possibly others?).

@kenzieschmoll is an admin for this repo, I am not familiar with how the github actions are set up here.

I don't have the ability to add a new action, the text field is disabled for me:

@Piinks are you able to add the "peter-evans/find-comment@d0ee7939ee99ba35820c3e58de972e57ff8bb890" action?

[Piinks]

Same, I also cannot edit the text field. 🤔
