Add release.yml CI action

[dhardy]

This is the repo-side configuration of https://crates.io/docs/trusted-publishing

Added code from https://medium.com/@usman_qb/from-git-tag-to-github-release-automating-changelog-extraction-9cfcad1b13c4 (modified slightly due to our tag format).

I don't know how to test this other than to make a release.

Assumption: we can evaluate JavaScript here. GH docs seem to imply this.

I believe this should work as intended, or at least not cause problems:

• The cargo publish part is copied from the crates.io trusted-publishing docs above. It should either work or fail to do anything. If we want to automate publishing using GitHub actions this is the best solution that I am aware of.
• The GitHub release script is a little more flaky, but the worst it can do is create a poor draft release on GH. I have tested what I can outside of the GitHub actions script.

Testing needed, somewhere.

LGTM on the first glance, but note that I do not have experience of using Trusted Publishing.

Me neither, and while not giving GH Actions long-lived tokens is a good thing, this still fundamentally gives Actions the ability to publish crates. Whether or not we want that is another question.

(My main motivation here was exploring possibilities. It may be that we want the GH release stuff but not the crates.io publishing.)

What I do like is that this approach associates crates.io releases with git tags (assuming one does not publish to crates.io first).
