This PR adds a new GitHub workflow that automatically creates patch
releases for maintenance branches.
## What it does
- Runs daily at 2:00 AM CET (1:00 UTC)
- Checks all `release-X.Y` branches
- For each branch, finds the latest published release with tag `vX.Y.Z`
(without suffixes like -rc, -alpha, -beta)
- If new commits exist after the release, creates a new tag `vX.Y.Z+1`
and force-pushes it
- This triggers the existing tag workflow to build and create a release
PR
## Why releases instead of tags
The workflow checks published releases (not just tags) because if a
release PR hasn't been merged yet, the workflow should run again the
next day and move the tag to newer commits if they exist.
