Distribute the CLI as a Forgejo release with prebuilt binaries. It stays on our own infrastructure, users don't need a Rust toolchain, and a bad version can be deleted outright (unlike crates.io).

Add .forgejo/workflows/release.yml:

Trigger on tags matching v*.
Fail if the tag doesn't match the version in Cargo.toml.
Build x86_64-unknown-linux-musl (a static binary that runs on any distro). Add aarch64 or macOS later only if someone asks.
Package sporah-<version>-x86_64-linux.tar.gz with the binary, the sporah completions, README and LICENSE.
Publish SHA256SUMS.
Create the Forgejo release and upload the assets using a scoped token stored as a repo secret.

Then tag v0.1.0 and check that the downloaded binary runs on a clean machine or container.

Depends on: the CI workflow, README, LICENSE and stale-completions issues.

Follow-ups after the release, not filed yet: an AUR sporah-cli-bin PKGBUILD pointing at these assets, and crates.io once the CLI's interface has settled.
