ci(dev-freeze): Use GitHub Action for PR comments

GitHub Action `devel-freezer` helps with development freeze notifications
during the RC phase. It will create comments using predefined messages on
newly created and updated PRs when the RC tag has been released.
Also, it will update comments once a new major version has been released.
