Release process

1. Copy the release notes: go to https://github.com/narwhals-dev/narwhals/releases, click "edit" on the latest (draft) release notes, copy all the content, and paste it somewhere. You'll need this later.
2. Make sure that bump-version branch doesn't appear in https://github.com/narwhals-dev/narwhals/branches - if it does, delete it.
3. Make a new bump-version branch: git checkout -b bump-version
4. Run python utils/bump_version.py patch. Replace 'patch' with either 'minor' or `'major', depending on by how much you want to bump the version.
5. Go to the latest release in https://github.com/narwhals-dev/narwhals/releases, and paste in the release notes which you copied in step 1.
