ci: add rolling 'release' tag job to keep update.json current

Add a second CI job that runs after the versioned release is published.
It upserts a permanent Gitea release tagged 'release', replacing its
assets with the freshly built update.json and update-beta.json.
This is the URL Zotero polls for auto-update checks per manifest.json.
