GitHub Action to upload multiple assets to a release

This action aims to resolve several outstanding user requests with @actions/upload-release-asset.

• Getting the latest release tag for upload
• Globbing i.e. ./bin/*
• Succinct - no need to populate content_type and a separate path input

You can run into a "socket hangup", if you do, then add permissions for the action to write to contents.

    permissions:
      contents: write
      checks: write

      actions: read
      issues: read
      packages: write
      pull-requests: read
      repository-projects: read
      statuses: read

You must provide:

• asset_paths - the paths to the assets you want to upload as a JSON array. You can use a glob pattern. For example asset_paths: '["bin/*", "dist/js/*"]'

• browser_download_urls - the paths to download the uploaded assets
