Subject: [PATCH] ci: automate release build and upload

Adds GitHub Actions workflow to build and upload release binaries on tag push.
Uses existing build.bash script to create cross-platform binaries for promxy
and remote_write_exporter, then uploads to GitHub release with auto-generated
release notes. Eliminates manual `make release` + upload step.

Fixes #582
