feat: automatic release process

[Tuxliri]

This pull request introduces automated semantic versioning and release management to the repository. The main changes include adding a GitHub Actions workflow for automated releases, updating the versioning configuration, and documenting the new release process in the README.md.

Automated Release Workflow:

• Added .github/workflows/release.yml to automate version bumps, tagging, changelog generation, and GitHub releases. The workflow supports patch, minor, and major version increments, and can optionally mark releases as pre-releases.

Versioning Configuration:

• Updated .bumpversion.cfg to include custom tag names and commit messages for releases, ensuring tags are prefixed with v and commit messages reflect the version change.

Documentation Updates:

• Added a new section to README.md describing the automated release workflow, how to use it, and what it does. It also links to more detailed release process documentation.

@liammcalpineduckietown there is a bug in the workflow file causing the release to file. Also the workflow is missing publishing to PyPi, please add it according to the Makefile (or using the PyPi/twine publishing action)
