tools: do pages deployment via actions (npm#160)

MylesBorins · web-flow · commit 7beca8b4187e · 2022-08-02T14:13:45.000-07:00
There is now support for deploying pages by actions bypassing the need to
upload to a branch, this significantly simplifies the overall process
and removed the need for a "dist" branch.

I'm about 99% confident this will work out of the box, I've tested on
two personal websites already.
