chore: add testing workflow and enforce test dependency for releases

- Introduced a new testing workflow in `test.yml` to run tests across multiple OS environments (macOS, Ubuntu, Windows) with Node.js.
- Configured the `semantic-release` job in `publish-vscode-extension.yml` to depend on the test job, ensuring that tests must pass before a release is made.
- This enhancement improves the CI/CD pipeline by integrating automated testing into the release process, increasing code reliability.
