Subject: [PATCH] ci: add GitHub Actions for automated release handling

Add a new workflow file to automate releases using the
release-please GitHub Action. Configure permissions for
writing contents and pull requests, and set up necessary
steps to obtain a GitHub App token and run the release.
This streamlines the release process and ensures timely
updates to the project.
