Tag and release to GitHub

[aalmiray]

Followup to #9

Current settings found at pom.xml and release.yml workflow perform the following tasks:

• update version to a given input and commit changes.
• publish JARs and POM to Maven Central.

I'd suggest enhancing the release setup to also perform the following tasks:

• tag the release
• create a GitHub release
• [optional] announce the release on Twitter, Slack, etc

JReleaser may be used to provide such behavior.
Releases could look like this https://github.com/kordamp/kordamp-maven-parent/releases/tag/v1.3.0
Such release was created with the following input files:

• configuration
• workflow

JReleaser may be configured as a Maven plugin as well, avoiding the need to installing the CLI tool. If a commit message format convention is applied to the project (such as conventional-commits) then the generated changelog may look a bit better (categories, scopes, etc). Custom conventions may be mapped as well.

I've never heard of JReleaser and looks like a great plugin! I like the breakdown of the changelog and individual commits on the version you linked. 😄 I would also recommend looking at autogenerating a changelod.md file and a I found a NPM plugin that is used in many other projects regardless of the language! It's easy to import to a project using Github Actions. I almost have it working on the python SDK, you can see on line 28!

JReleaser offers more options for configuring the changelog. https://jreleaser.org/guide/latest/reference/release/changelog.html
