Refactor: Use GitHub Actions for version bumping and release creation

Update the release workflow to leverage GitHub Actions for version bumping and release creation. The workflow now uses `mathieudutour/github-tag-action` and `ncipollo/release-action` to simplify the process and ensure consistency.

This change removes the need for additional dependencies and configuration, streamlines the release process, and improves overall maintainability.
