Subject: [PATCH] CI: create rolling 'latest' pre-release on every main push

Previously the release job only ran on v* tag pushes, leaving
main-branch builds with no downloadable binaries.

- Release job now also triggers on push to main
- On main: force-moves the 'latest' git tag to the current commit,
  then creates/updates a 'latest' pre-release with the built artifacts
- On v* tag: existing versioned release behaviour unchanged
