Added new tutorial for continuous deployment

[ddomingo]

We added a new tutorial for configuring continuous delivery workflows for Forge apps:

Set up continuous delivery for Forge apps

This tutorial focuses on the use of environment variables for builds. It includes steps you can use to build a functional Bitbucket Cloud pipeline, along with general guidelines for GitHub users.

We published this tutorial as a response to community requests for better documentation of Forge CI/CD support.

Here is what we did for GitHub:

name: Build, Lint, Test and Deploy
on:
  push:
  pull_request:
    branches:
      - main
    types: [opened, synchronize, reopened]
  workflow_dispatch:

jobs:
  build:
    name: Build, List, Test and Deploy backend & frontend
