release: Move changelog and release creation to GitHub Actions

release.sh now only bumps versions, builds, tags, and pushes.
GitHub Actions triggers on tag push and handles:
- Changelog generation (git-cliff)
- GitHub release creation
- RPM build (Fedora 43 container)
- DEB build (Ubuntu)
- Asset upload to release
