workflows: automatically create GitHub release when tagged

Run `meson dist` on Linux in every build, because it's a good idea to test this and because the build job already installs the dependencies for `meson setup`. Archive the artifact, then conditionally run a second job to do the release. This uses the same release-job pattern as OpenSlide Python, rather than starting a second workflow upon completion of the build workflow. This results in a skipped job in every PR's job list, but allows the passing of output variables between jobs. Linux builds run in ubuntu-latest, not in a Fedora container, so the Autotools blobs in the source tarball will be generated on Ubuntu 22.04. That release has current versions of Autoconf and Automake, so this seems okay. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Gilbert <[email protected]>
