chore: automate development version and release generation (#772)
This change introduces a GitHub Action to automate release creation, including
proper tagging and automatic addition of a development marker to the version.

A hash is also appended to development versions to make their state easier to
distinguish.

Tests and release documentation have been updated to reflect the revised
release workflow. Several files now retrieve the current version dynamically.

The test --full-run option has been rename to --finalize to make
clear it is to do commit finalization testing.

# Release Process
This document describes how to prepare and publish a new release **via a Pull Request from a fork**,
and how to set a **development version** after the release.
## ✅ Overview of the Process
| Step | Actor | Action |
|------|-------------|--------|
| 1 | Contributor | Prepare a release branch **in your fork** using Commitizen |
| 2 | Contributor | Open a **Pull Request to upstream** (`Akkudoktor-EOS/EOS`) |
| 3 | Maintainer | Review and **merge the release PR** |
| 4 | CI | Create the **GitHub Release and tag** |
| 5 | CI | Set the **development version marker** via a follow-up PR |
## 🔄 Detailed Workflow
### 1⃣ Contributor: Prepare the Release in Your Fork
#### Clone and sync your fork
```bash
git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/EOS
cd EOS
git remote add eos https://github.com/Akkudoktor-EOS/EOS
git fetch eos
git checkout main
git pull eos main
````
#### Create the release branch
```bash
git checkout -b release/vX.Y.Z
```
#### Bump the version information
Set `__version__` in src/akkudoktoreos/core/version.py
```python
__version__ = 0.3.0
```
Prepare version by updating versioned files, e.g.:
- haaddon/config.yaml
and the generated documentation:
```bash
make prepare-version
```
Check the changes by:
```bash
make test-version
```
#### Create a new CHANGELOG.md entry
Edit CHANGELOG.md
#### Create the new release commit
Add all the changed version files and all other changes to the commit.
```bash
git add src/akkudoktoreos/core/version.py CHANGELOG.md ...
git commit -s -m "chore: Prepare Release v0.3.0"
```
#### Push the branch to your fork
```bash
git push --set-upstream origin release/v0.3.0
```
### 2⃣ Contributor: Open the Release Preparation Pull Request
| From | To |
| ------------------------------------ | ------------------------- |
| `<your-username>/EOS:release/vX.Y.Z` | `Akkudoktor-EOS/EOS:main` |
**PR Title:**
```text
