ci: auto-version release workflow with patch/minor/major dropdown

Replace manual version string input with a choice dropdown
(patch, minor, major). The workflow computes the next semver
from the latest v* git tag automatically:
  patch: 0.1.1 -> 0.1.2
  minor: 0.1.1 -> 0.2.0
  major: 0.1.1 -> 1.0.0
