🚀 Add auto-release workflow for versioned releases

📦 This commit introduces a new GitHub Actions workflow for automatic releases:

- ✨ Creates a new `.github/workflows/auto-release.yml` file
- 🏷️ Triggers on push of version tags (v*)
- 🔄 Generates changelog from commits since last tag
- 📊 Creates/updates a base release for major versions
- 🎉 Creates a full version release with detailed changelog
- 🛠️ Updates `action.yml` to use bash shell for Git setup

This automation streamlines the release process, ensuring consistent and informative releases for each new version of the project.
