Create a GitHub release from each version tag

[jorhett]

This will add a GitHub release for any version tag pushed to the repo. This was requested by @bastelfreak at https://puppetcommunity.slack.com/archives/C0W1Y5VL0/p1715636371866939

The gh-release action used here is both

• the most popular action that implements the release functionality
• the one I've had the most positive experiences with personally

Obviously this is a basic demonstration which could be further tuned to improve the release description, as per https://github.com/marketplace/actions/gh-release#-customizing

for our containers @rwaffen recently worked on a workflow to generate github releases:

https://github.com/voxpupuli/crafty/blob/main/.github/workflows/release.yml + voxpupuli/container-puppetserver@fc47fa9 and I think we should try to use the same approach for all of our projects. Than it probably makes sense to move this to it's own repo.

You can't use on in a reusable action. With what's here I doubt there's a point in making a reusable action out of this: your dependency already does that (except checkout). Modulesync may be a better place to do this.

didn't saw @bastelfreak comment (sorry for confugisn emails about my comments), yes, i would recommend using my approach, instead of depending on a third party workflow. i have a pr/branch prepared for this on my local 😅

[rwaffen]

as tim said, i did something and now i found it again and pushed all changes. it is the code from crafty, put together as its own gha.

i think we need only propper tags/branches on the gha and then its ready to use

I'm all for whatever works. This was my quick punt to show @bastelfreak how easy it was, as he requested.

[rwaffen]

he played us... me and @bastelfreak had the same talk :D
