Name Change

I've realised aliastools has "stools" in its name.
I always preferred "utils" to "tools",
but thought "tools" rolled off the tongue more easily.
(Perhaps it rolls off too easily.)
The full name macOS-alias-utils
is now be applied throughout the project.

Elaboration

Add a README, correct the help text,
and elaborate the version info.

GitHub Action

Simplify build and release action.
The downloaded zip will still have its version stripped by Safari
when is auto-opened on download,
but now the entire version number will be stripped
rather than having the major version left behind.

I considered not using a zip file at all,
and releasing the binaries directly,
but a zip file is necessary to ensure
the binaries retain their execution permissions.

I considered changing the . characters to _,
or something else, in the filename, to prevent this issue,
but I choose a nice-looking filename over pleasing Safari.
At least the folder it generates will no longer end in -v0.
