Automate adding a new ceremony in p0tion backend DB

[sripwoud]

"Upon releasing new major versions of underlying circom files packages, I want to automatically have the PR in https://github.com/privacy-scaling-explorations/p0tion created to trigger the ceremony process."

Later on that PR will be reviewed, the trusted setup coordinator will setup the ceremony and it will become opened for contributions

Hello, what is the details about this issue? @cedoor @sripwoud @baumstern @AtHeartEngineer @hero78119

I have never been a ceremony coordinator myself, so I don't know all the details.
As far as I can tell, the way it works with p0tion is that people can contribute to a list of opened ceremonies.
The data (including circuit data) for these ceremonies needs to be uploaded to a DB first.
the p0tion phase2cli has a command for this:

phase2cli coordinate setup --help

Usage: @p0tion/phase2cli coordinate setup [options]

setup a Groth16 Phase 2 Trusted Setup ceremony for zk-SNARK
circuits

Options:
  -t, --template <path>  The path to the ceremony setup template
                         (default: "")
  -a, --auth <string>    The Github OAuth 2.0 token (default:
                         "")
  -h, --help             display help for command

The idea of this PR, if possible, is to define a GitHub action that would automatically prepare this ceremony data and insert it in the p0tion backend DB (either by using the phase2cli CLI or by posting JSON data directly to the p0tion DB, what do you think @NicoSerranoP )

@cedoor I am wondering if this issue (btw not to be confused with #16 )should still be in the scope of this repo.
Because this repo does not really deal with src circuit files, just the artifacts that are the outcomes of ceremonies.

@sripwoud I think we should move this issue to the P0tion repo 👍🏽
