feat(.github/actions): add new job for weekly release

[sambhav-jain-16]

What?

Add a new job for weekly release

Why?

It's a manual process right now, and sometimes it can be missed

How?

Use GitHub Actions.
Currently, the cron job is disabled, so the job can be tested manually. A new future PR will enable the cron

Pull request overview

This PR adds a GitHub Actions workflow intended to automate the currently-manual weekly release process (with the cron trigger temporarily disabled so it can be tested via manual dispatch first).

Changes:

• Adds a new Weekly Release workflow that can be run via workflow_dispatch (and later via a scheduled cron).
• Implements “auto” version bumping via commit-message markers since the last tag, with a manual override path for explicit patch/minor/major bumps.
• Creates a Git tag and then publishes a GitHub Release only when there are commits since the last tag.
