Proposal: Automated Kubebuilder Project Update Action

This proposal aims to create a GitHub Action similar to Dependabot for Kubebuilder,
automating the process of regenerating scaffolds and preserving custom code when new
versions of Kubebuilder are released. This solution ensures that projects stay
updated with best practices, bug fixes, and features, ultimately improving
maintainability and adoption by reducing the complexity of manual updates.

I would like to help in this one 😄

I am trying to use a similar approach in one of the projects I work on https://github.com/migtools/oadp-non-admin/blob/master/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md#upgrade-kubebuilder-version

But on other project, the upgrade process does not have any guidelines, and we are very outdated on current features. This would facilitate the project being up to date with lastest kubebuilder releases

Hi @mateusoliveira43

Regards: #4302 (comment)

That would be great.
We need to finish the Proposal.
But if you want share a POC to prove that works and how would work
OR a PR with a code implementation is excellent.

We also need to ensure that we have a test in place to ensure this solution

We need add in the details of its implementation the scenario where is required to define the path where the PROJECT file/project is scaffold since it might be a repository which is following the monorepo approach.
