Latest version detection

[jkroepke]

The current workflow uses the official Lens auto-update mechanism (https://lens-binaries.s3.amazonaws.com/ide/latest-mac.yml) to detect the latest version.

Since this repo does not depend on official Lens builds, consider to switch the latest version detection based on the git tags on https://github.com/lensapp/lens/

e.g.

curl -sSfL https://github.com/lensapp/lens/releases.atom | grep -oP "(?<=<title>)v[^<]+" | head -n1
v6.1.0

requires gnu grep (may not work in mac os)

You could also use the github API:

curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/lensapp/lens/releases/latest | jq .tag_name | grep -oP "(\d+(:?\.\d+)+)" | head -n 1

Btw., seems they changed their version system, at least in the yml:

curl -s https://lens-binaries.s3.amazonaws.com/ide/latest-mac.yml | grep -o "version:.*-latest"
--> version: 2022.9.201328-latest

It seems like this need to be changes in anyways.

Yup, @jkroepke can you test these cli commands at your fork and create a PR if successful
