Describe the solution you'd like

We opened #808 to discuss how we might use GitHub actions. At the time, this repo didn't have actions enabled. Now that it does, we should try them out for some of the things in that thread.

Edit from @arschles - we have focused this issue to just the twitter publishing action after discussion in https://github.com/gomods/athens/issues/1460#issuecomment-573896109

Describe alternatives you've considered

We could do nothing!

@teaguecole I will rename this issue specific to the twitter action, so we can track just that here. We can open issues for other specific actions as we go, then, and track things more easily.

I have the action ready for this. I just have some questions before I make a pull request.

Q: Do you need a tweet for pre-releases or just releases?

Q: What should the message format be? v0.9.0 is out v0.9.0 pre-release is out

Q: The workflow has to be in the branch where you're creating the release from so I'm guessing this will be a pull request into main?
