Image Digest Update (digestabot)

This action updates a image digest when using the tag+digest pattern. If the tag is mutable it will have a new digest when the tag is updated. If there is a change in the digest this action will update to the latest digest and open a PR.

Given an image in the format <repo>:<tag>@sha256:<digest> e.g. cgr.dev/chainguard/nginx:latest@sha256:81bed54c9e507503766c0f8f030f869705dae486f37c2a003bb5b12bcfcc713f, digesta-bot will look up the digest of the tag on the registry and, if it doesn't match, open a PR to update it. This can be used to keep tags up-to-date whilst maintaining a reproducible build and providing an opportunity to test updates.
