Check if migrations are up-to-date in CI

[CamiloDFM]

Hi everyone! 👋

We're starting to use Payload at my org, and I'm currently setting up CI/CD for our first site. I was wondering if anyone has replicated Django's makemigrations --check to use in CI.

For those unfamiliar with Django, makemigrations is Django's equivalent to payload migrate:create. The --check flag checks if there are any schema changes not reflected in the existing migration files, and if there are any, exits with an error code instead of creating the migration file.

Doing this manually with payload migrate:create doesn't seem to be trivial, given that the command asks for user input if there are no schema changes, and a solution would need to capture and check the command's output. So I wanted to see if anyone has already solved this before reinventing the wheel.

Thanks!
