feat(ci): release on tag 👷

You can see the ultimate result in the screenshots below. However, this will remove your ability to release on the marketplace. But the upside is that all you have to do is to push a tag starting with v, and everything else is taken care of.

I struggle to see the real benefits from publishing the action to the marketplace. The only reason I could think of is discoverability. But I mostly copy/paste/alter workflows from well maintained high quality crates which has always been enough for my needs and I have never really looked for actions on the marketplace. Why would we loose the ability to publish to the marketplace if we decided to merge your PR?

You wouldn't "lose" it in the literal sense of the word, but rather it won't be published to the marketplace if you don't release it from GitHub Release page. The only benefit there is when publishing to marketplace is better reach and recognition, but it is still usable if someone has a step uses: nicolaiunrein/cargo-get in their workflows (example, example2).

It is however able to do a new GitHub Release on every push of the tags starting with v.
