Description:
Our submodules seems to be out of sync quite often. This new action will automatically create a PR for updating the submodules once a week (could also do that more often if useful). In addition it's possible to trigger the action manually. This can be used before building a release.
Note: I've built this action to prevent having outdated submodules before a release is done. In the latest release the the log-analytics submodule for example was out of sync. Therefor a feature that was mentioned in the changelog actually wasn't included.
