Upgrade build actions for release (#1779)

* update `build.yml` so it matches updates from `build_manual.yml`

* test `build.yml` without uploading

* test again using build_manual.yml

* build pip wheel with Ubuntu and turn off caching so build.yml exactly matches build_manual.yml

* `build.yml` on release only and upload

* testing caching

* `use-only-tar-bz2: true` makes environment unsolvable, change it back

* Update .github/workflows/build_manual.yml

* bump pre-release version

* fix version for pre-release

* run build and upload on release!

* try setting `CACHE_NUMBER` to 1 with `use-only-tar-bz2` set to true

* increasing the cache number to reset the cache does work when `use-only-tar-bz2` is set to true

* publish and upload on release only
