Refactor GitHub Actions workflows for release and build processes

- Updated `publish-to-manual-release.yml` to trigger on push to the `release` branch instead of pull request events.
- Simplified the release creation process by removing the `create-release` and `publish-release` jobs, consolidating them into the `publish-tauri` job.
- Adjusted the `publish-tauri` job to automatically handle versioning and release details.
- Excluded the `release` branch from triggering the `test-build-only.yml` workflow by adding `branches-ignore`.
- Improved the overall workflow efficiency and clarity by removing redundant steps and utilizing automatic version replacement in tags and release names.
