FORKS.md with GitHub Actions

My Workflow

Have you ever had a repository so loved by the community and you wonder which of the forks is more actively maintained than yours but there are hundreds of them already? [...] Yeah, me neither. But I know this is a common question with big open source projects.

This Github Action generates a FORKS.md file that keep track of all forks and, aditionally how far or behind are of the original project. Sweet indeed.
