feat(ci): rename force_publish to force_release and clean up

- Renames the input parameter `force_publish` to `force_release` for clarity.
- Updates logic in the CI workflow to utilize the new `force_release` parameter.
- Removes obsolete helm artifact hub metadata push step for simplification.
- Adds a new `repository-dispatch` action for release event handling.
