Added Nox Task prepare-release

Overview:

A new Nox task, prepare-release, has been introduced to streamline the release preparation process. This task automates several crucial steps:
- Create a dedicated branch for the release changes.
- Transfer changes from the “Unreleased” section to the appropriate versioned changelog section.
- Update the version number to the next release.
- Initiate a Pull Request (PR) for review and integration into the main branch.
Usage:

To prepare a release, simply execute a command in your terminal like in the example below:
```
nox -s prepare-release -- 1.10.1
```
Add the changes for releasing on top of the current branch:
```
nox -s prepare-release -- 1.10.1 --no-pr --no-branch
```
For additional options and help regarding the task prepare-release, execute:
```
nox -s prepare-release -- -h 
```
