Motivation
A ton of BLT code exists solely to manage releases. This is a pain to maintain, and we are also using deprecated Github API methods that would require a fair amount of effort to fix.
Proposed changes
Instead of manually rolling releases, switch to the Release Drafter app that will automatically generate new releases, release notes, and version numbers / tags.
This introduces a dependency on Composer 2 to return version number since we need APIs available in Composer 2 to get the BLT version number (since we'll no longer be baking it into each release via a commit). I think this is acceptable because Composer 1 is now EOL and we can soon make Composer 2 mandatory (or else have a fallback way of getting version number).
