Add Record Create action in the frontend (#8514)

In this PR:

- Updated the front-end types for workflows to include CRUD actions and
global naming changes
- Allow users to create a Record Create action
- Scaffold the edit for Record Create action; for now, I render a
`<VariableTagInput />` component for every editable field; it's likely
we'll change it soon

Closes https://github.com/twentyhq/private-issues/issues/142
