feat: add a "match_tags" option

I use this action to release the chart of [Mercure](https://mercure.rocks).
We use a monolithic Git repository containing several projects, including the Helm chart.
Currently, this action isn't compatible with our setup because it computes the changes
made to the chart since the previous tag.

In our case we also use tags for other projects in the same repository,
so this actions is never triggered because there are no changes with the "previous" tag (which usually is for another project in the same repository).

This PR introduces a `match_tags` option allowing to filter the tags to match using a glob.

 - `charts_repo_url`: The GitHub Pages URL to the charts repo (default: `https://<owner>.github.io/<project>`)
 - `skip_packaging`: This option, when populated, will skip the packaging step. This allows you to do more advanced packaging of your charts (for example, with the `helm package` command) before this action runs. This action will only handle the indexing and publishing steps.
 - `mark_as_latest`: When you set this to `false`, it will mark the created GitHub release not as 'latest'.
