Introduce dedicated publish workflow

Introduce a dedicated workflow for publishing the crate by push of a
button. This is a much nicer experience than having to push a tag, in my
opinion, and there is no longer a need for mismatch check. Instead of
the user having to create the tag, let GitHub Actions do it for us.
Security-wise this reversal shouldn't matter: it's just meta-data
attached to a commit, which we can easily verify that it hasn't changed.
Because tags did not seem to be signed in past, we are not loosing
anything there either by having a some piece of infrastructure do it.
