build: automate release flow

Adds a GitHub Action to perform the following:

- Kick off whenever a new commit is made on the default (main) branch
- Bump package version in `package.json`
  - Version bump follows semantic versioning
  - Avoid automatically publishing new major versions to prevent unintended releases
- Publish updated package to registry (npmjs.com)
- Add a new git tag
- Generate release notes and add them to the changelog
- Publish a new release to GitHub, includes change notes in release body
