This adds a dune lockdir to the project and a github action where pushing a tag causes a vpn binary distribution to be built for linux and macos, and released to the github "releases" page. Also fixes a few minor issues which prevented the project from building with the locked versions of dependencies.

This PR is an update of the earlier #653 from @gridbugs and incorporates many of Steve's improvements that I have lately upstreamed recently.
As such the main parts are:
setup-duneto download and install Dune, build the dependencies, the project and finally distribution tarballs that are uploaded to the release page on GitHub.3.19.1thus making it impossible to use a modern dune with them (reported by @gridbugs in Upper bounds on the "dune" package prevent dune package management from solving dependencies ocaml/opam-repository-archive#30, possible workaround in Dune discussed in dune should ignore upper bounds on dune ocaml/dune#14637). Thus this PR uses https://github.com/tarides/moby-vpnkit-opam-repository-archive which is a fork of theopam-repository-archivewith the Dune constraint removed.An example can be seen in my testing fork on https://github.com/tarides/moby-vpnkit/releases/tag/2026-05-25.1 where the release was created using the GitHub UI and it automatically triggered the run of this release action which used the locked solution and uploaded the generated tarball to the release automatically. The build took 5 minutes on platforms with fast Github Action runners and a bit under 20 minutes on platforms with slower runners.
