[MNT] release workflow

[fkiraly]

Adds a release workflow to PyPI, with tests gating the release.

So, what's the logic for making a release? Change by hand the version number in pyproject.toml? Then introduce a tag matching this version number? The job then picking the tag up?

Yes.
I suspect you have a better suggestion?
Would be keen to hear what you think.

I use https://github.com/tschm/.config-templates/blob/main/.github/workflows/release.yml across my repos. This job can only be triggered manually. A new version number has to be explicitly provided. The workflow is then creating the tag (via git tag), and is replacing the version string in pyproject.toml (if it exists) via sed. I then build the dist artifact (using hatch). At no point I commit the changed pyproject.toml file. It has worked very well for me...
