[TW-4723] ci(release): add workflow_dispatch trigger for one-click releases

[AaronDDM]

Summary

Add a workflow_dispatch trigger to the release GitHub Action so releases can be performed from the GitHub UI or gh CLI without manually creating and pushing git tags.

Changes

• Add workflow_dispatch trigger with version input (semver, no v prefix) and dry_run boolean option
• Validate semver format before proceeding
• Check for duplicate tags before creating
• Create and push git tag automatically during the workflow
• Support GoReleaser --snapshot mode for dry runs (build without publishing)
• Use environment variables for all user inputs in run: blocks to prevent command injection
• Add explicit tag_name to softprops/action-gh-release for dispatch triggers

Usage

# Release
gh workflow run release.yml -f version=1.2.3

# Dry run (build + validate, no publish)
gh workflow run release.yml -f version=1.2.3 -f dry_run=true

Or use the "Run workflow" button in the GitHub Actions UI.

Testing

• Trigger dry run via gh workflow run release.yml -f version=0.0.0-test.1 -f dry_run=true
• Verify tag push still triggers the workflow as before
• Verify invalid version format is rejected (e.g., abc, v1.2.3)
• Verify duplicate tag is rejected
