CONTRIBUTING.md also tells you what to expect in the PR process.

• Added arduino-release.py which supports automatic tagging and release verification. The tag needs to be a valid semver increase on the permanent branches (main, master) and all the commit hash related workflows need to be completed successfully.
• Updated release.yml workflow to enable auto release (from workflow_dispatch), release verify.
• Updated release.yml workflow with newer actions of changelog builder and release creation. Release info resolved with the help of arduino-release.py.
• In arduino-packager.py we have the following modifications:

• Removed version checking.
• platform.txt version is automatically added during package generation.
• Previous release is not the "latest" Github version, but the previous semver "version". This avoid no history when directly tagging from the release sections.

Next todos:

• One this is merged and marked as latest, it will be updated in xmc-for-arduino and arduino-core-psoc. Test branch already there -> https://github.com/jaenrig-ifx/arduino-core-psoc6/actions/runs/15345812209
• Enable library support in arduino-release.py and release.yml
• Cleanup and docu of arduino-release.py

Pull Request Overview

This pull request introduces a new release flow by adding an automatic release tagging mechanism and updating the release workflows, while simplifying version validation in the arduino packager. Key changes include:

• Adding support for automatic semver-based tagging and release verification in arduino-release.py.
• Removing version consistency checks from arduino-packager.py and updating platform.txt version injection.
• Upgrading and adjusting GitHub workflow files for release actions with newer actions and improved release asset information.

Ensure that tag_list is not empty before accessing its first element to avoid a potential IndexError if no valid semver tags are found. Consider adding a check to handle the empty list scenario gracefully.

Suggested change

	if not tag_list:
	logging.error("No valid semver tags found in the releases. Cannot determine the highest tag.")
	return None

[nitpick] Remove the extra space between 'if' and ':' to ensure proper YAML syntax; use 'if:' instead of 'if :'.

Suggested change

	if : ${{ inputs.setup-script }} != null
	if: ${{ inputs.setup-script }} != null
