Summary

Add an --autogenerateVersionNumber flag to scripts/bump-oss-version.js.

Some CI checks have been failing due to a change in this script. We still have some old invocations that assume the script will generate an ad-hoc version number. This change helps make the transition easier. If we so desire, we can change our CI scripts as needed in the future.

Can we just use the nightly flag for this?

Can we just use the nightly flag for this?

Possibly, but I figure that adding a separate flag shows a clearer distinction between us and upstream.

Ok, Then make sure to update the use of this script in the publish.yml when porting this to the main branch.
