ci: Extract release workflow into a dedicated file

Moves the GitHub Actions release job from `build-and-test.yml`
into a new, standalone `release.yml` workflow. This improves
modularity and clarity of the CI/CD pipeline, allowing for
better management and triggering of the release process.

The new workflow is configured to run upon completion of the
'Build and test' workflow or via manual `workflow_dispatch`,
with a dry-run option available for testing.
