Nightly releases

[daumantas-kavolis-sensmetry]

Nightlies/pre-releases are fine by themselves but currently all commits to main create a persistent pre-release in https://github.com/sensmetry/sysand/releases. At the moment, there are 44 releases, very few of which are actual releases which makes it incredibly hard to find older versions. There is no reason to keep outdated pre-releases, they should all be deleted on a new release, and/or the latest pre-release should overwrite previous pre-release.

We can borrow implementation from Ghostty nightly release workflow, they only have one rolling nightly release. Most relevant parts seem to be:

jobs:
  tag:
    runs-on: namespace-profile-ghostty-sm
    needs: [setup, build-macos]
    if: needs.setup.outputs.should_skip != 'true'
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@08c6903cd8c0fde910a37f88322edcfb5dd907a8 # v5.0.0
      - name: Tip Tag
        run: |
          git config user.name "github-actions[bot]"
          git config user.email "41898282+github-actions[bot]@users.noreply.github.com"
          git tag -fa tip -m "Latest Continuous Release" ${GITHUB_SHA}
          git push --force origin tip

and

      # Update Release
      - name: Release
        uses: softprops/action-gh-release@6da8fa9354ddfdc4aeace5fc48d7f679b5214090 # v2.4.1
        with:
          name: 'Ghostty Tip ("Nightly")'
          prerelease: true
          tag_name: tip
          target_commitish: ${{ github.sha }}
          files: ghostty-macos-universal-debug-fast.zip
          token: ${{ secrets.GH_RELEASE_TOKEN }}

This may also be useful:

# We must only run one release workflow at a time to prevent corrupting
# our release artifacts.
concurrency:
  group: ${{ github.workflow }}
  cancel-in-progress: false

Removed obsolete nightly releases.

@vytautas-astrauskas-sensmetry Since you created the original pipelines, does this seem reasonable?

A rolling nightly release sounds reasonable to me.
