Create Release

Create a release automatically when a new tag is pushed

This is consistent with the strategy I have been applying across several repositories including OMERO.py but also Java components like ome-common

Auto-generating the release notes for individual components is fairly low-maintenance and generally produces a good outcome. I also find this approach to be complementary of writing more curated release notes e.g. for Bio-Formats and OMERO as the latter tend to be more user-facing.

Two things to keep in mind while pivoting towards this strategy:

• there is no single entry point that aggregates the changelog of all changes across versions. The closest equivalent would be the releases endpoint e.g.https://github.com/ome/omero-scripts/releases but this might involve some scrolling & navigation if looking at the change across several releases
• the auto-generation of the release body further increases the importance of good titles (& bodies) for the individual contributions e.g. avoiding generic titles like Fix bug. This puts additional responsibility on maintainers but also confers them with further authority during the review process to ensure these are correctly filled.
