Subject: [PATCH] fix(release): restore GitHub release creation with gh CLI

The "Create GitHub release" step was broken in PR #386, which removed
the GITHUB_TOKEN env var from the actions/create-release action. The
action requires the token to be passed explicitly, so releases were
being published to PyPI but GitHub tags/releases were not created.

This replaces the archived actions/create-release@v1 with the gh CLI,
which is already used elsewhere in this workflow. The gh CLI properly
uses GH_TOKEN for authentication.
