Releases Refactor

[MGatner]

Description
This PR is "phase 1" of automating releases, targeting the distribution repos.

• A new GitHub Action is defined, triggered by release publication
• Release scripts are retired in favor of a new deploy scripts in .github/scripts
• Repo files are differentiated by intended project use (see also Unnecessary files in the download installation #2606)
• Docs updated for the release workflow
• A number of bugs fixed that either included wrong files or failed to remove legacy files

Checklist:

• Securely signed commits
• Component(s) with PHPdocs
• Unit testing, with >80% coverage
• User guide updated
• Conforms to style guide

Due to the nature of the trigger, this change is not easily tested. I created forks of the three repos codeigniter4, framework, and appstarter and temporarily pointed the Action at those. You can review the successful test:

• New release created: https://github.com/MGatner/CodeIgniter4/releases/tag/v6.0.0
• Action triggered, jobs successful: https://github.com/MGatner/CodeIgniter4/actions/runs/51138279
• Distribution repos updated with corrected files: MGatner/framework@7a7fc5c
• Corresponding distribution releases generated: https://github.com/MGatner/framework/releases/tag/v6.0.0, https://github.com/MGatner/appstarter/releases/tag/v6.0.0

This command scares me :) Can you explain it is doing. Seems like you checkout master branch then delete everything?

[MGatner]

The way the old script worked it would copy in the chosen files (like we do below) pre-wiping any directories (this was the bugged part from the cprm typo). Where that fails is when there are files that are renamed or removed (notice we have license.txt and a duplicate legacy LICENSE because of this). Using the modified version above it checks out the target repo (AppStarter or framework) and rebuilds the repo from scratch (* ignores files with leading periods so it doesn’t affect the .git directory). Also, it’s just a new commit so we could always back up one and nothing is lost!

Other than the delete the entire server command making me nervous it all looks good. :)
