Revisit workflow for publishing centres from the global registry

[amilan17]

There was a one time update from GR implemented last July. I *think there have been new centres added since then.

There was initial work earlier in 2024 to develop a GitHub Action which would automagically generate the WTH centre-id CSV from the Global Registry and commit/push/publish. Unfortunately GitHub Actions are not possible across repositories, when one repository is private (as is Global Registry).

@amilan17 I'm happy to convert the GitHub Action to a script that you can run in Global Registry if you wish. Steps are per below:

sequenceDiagram
    participant WIS2 GlobalRegistry
    participant WMO
    participant WTH

    opt CSV generation
      WMO ->>+ WIS2 GlobalRegistry: run script to generate centre-id CSV
      WIS2 GlobalRegistry ->>+ WMO: return generated CSV
      WMO ->>+ WTH: commit generated CSV and push
    end

Loading

@tomkralidis we should at least have the script run automatically whenever main is updated. The manual step would be to commit the generated CSV to WTH.

Apparently, the Global Registry is so private, that I cannot even see it and therefore this discussion remains a mystery to me :-)

Yes, Global Registry is currently a private repo with the WIS2nodes local broken information.
