Add automation for updating `libuv` dependency

Rodrigo Muino Tomonari requested to merge github/fork/facutuesca/libuv-ci-update into main

Description

Add a Github Action that checks for new versions of the libuv C library, and creates a PR to update it if a newer version than the one present in the repo is found.

Refs: https://github.com/nodejs/security-wg/issues/828

Details

Currently, if one runs the script to update to version 1.44.2, the uv folder will end up with changes (even though Node's libuv version is also at 1.44.2):

bash tools/dep_updaters/update-libuv.sh 1.44.2
# (...script output....)

git status
# Changes not staged for commit:
#  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
#  (use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
#        modified:   deps/uv/include/uv/win.h
#        modified:   deps/uv/src/win/poll.c

This is due to a change made when merging https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/42340. More specifically, see https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/42340#issuecomment-1290894883. This accounts for the differences between Node's repo and upstream.

Since this seems to be a change that will be reverted in the next release (as per the comment), it should already be taken care of when the update-libuv.sh script is run for that next version.
