Collect Release Evidence through Release-CLI

Release notes

In this milestone we have added the ability to collect release evidence directly from the release-cli. This can be used to automate release descriptions and more by creating a script that interacts with the release responses.

Problem to solve

As a user of the release-cli, I wish to be able to perform all release activities directly from the .gitlab-ci.yml file.

This issue tackles Collect Release Evidence, which can then be used to be embedded in the release notes, to make sure the users are using the correct version.

Proposal

The release-cli is a simple HTTP client that makes API requests, it would be great to extend it to interact with the rest of the Release API endpoints.

Extend the release-cli to Collect release evidence

Create Evidence for an existing Release.
