Subject: [PATCH] fix: explicitly dispatch release workflow after creating a
 tag

Tags pushed with the default GITHUB_TOKEN don't trigger other
workflows' push events, so release.yml never ran after tag.yml
created a new tag. Add workflow_dispatch to release.yml and have
tag.yml call `gh workflow run release.yml --ref <tag>` right after
pushing the tag.
