GitHub Release from Tag

This action automatically creates GitHub releases from annotated Git tag messages.

• The tag message "subject" (the first line) becomes the release title.
• The tag message "body" (everything after the first line) becomes the release description.
• Markdown in the tag message body is supported.
• The release will be marked as a pre-release unless the tag is a stable SemVer version.
• Releases will be edited if the tag is updated.
