feat(events): add release event
This is one in a series of PRs that enables Vela users to define pipeline steps for GitHub release events. This feature was originally requested in #518 in the community repository.
While a release requires a tag, the opposite cannot be said--tags are independent events and can exist without the presence of a release. As such, it can be useful to distinguish between the different event types. For my particular use case, I'd like to use a Gradle plugin that uses tags to automatically version my repository. In this setup, merging a PR to the main branch would serve as the trigger to increment the version (i.e., tagging the applicable commit) and deploy to stage. Creating a release and selecting the newly-created tag would serve as the trigger to deploy to production. This requires that the release event type be supported by Vela.
