Subject: [PATCH 1/2] PG-2237 - Automate release date for Release Notes

This PR tests a CI automation workflow for automated release date generation.

The workflow reads `pspgversion` from `variables.yml`, converts it to the corresponding key (18.3.2 to 18_3_2), and updates the date field during merge.

This removes the need to manually set the release dates while keeping the current documentation structure unchanged.
