Automatically create the package after a release
And then upload it to the created release.
One less step during the release process 💪

We are using that GitHub Actions: https://github.com/shogo82148/actions-upload-release-asset

I've also:
- updated the release script to clone the repo using `https` instead of `git` (otherwise it failed during the build)
- use `md5sum` instead of `md5` because the latest isn't available in GitHub Actions

## Definition
A release is mostly a git tag of http://github.com/wallabag/wallabag, following [semantic versioning](http://semver.org).
### Steps to release
During this documentation, we assume the release is `$LAST_WALLABAG_RELEASE` (like 2.3.4).
#### Prepare the release
- Update these files with new information
- `app/config/wallabag.yml` (`wallabag_core.version`)
- `CHANGELOG.md`
- Create a PR named "Prepare $LAST_WALLABAG_RELEASE release".
- Wait for test to be ok, merge it.
#### Create a new release on GitHub
- [Create the new release on GitHub](https://github.com/wallabag/wallabag/releases/new) by targetting the `master` branch or any appropriate branch (for instance backports).
- Update nginx config to change the redirect rule for `https://wllbg.org/latest-v2-package` & `http://wllbg.org/latest-v2` (they both redirect to the asset of the GitHub release)
- Update Dockerfile https://github.com/wallabag/docker (and create a new tag)
- Update wallabag.org website (downloads, MD5 sum, releases and new blog post)
- Put the next patch version suffixed with `-dev` in `app/config/wallabag.yml` (`wallabag_core.version`)
- Drink a :beer:!
### Target PHP version
`composer.lock` is _always_ built for a particular version, by default the one it is generated (with `composer update`).
If the PHP version used to generate the .lock isn't a widely available one (like PHP 8), a more common one should
be locally specified in `composer.lock`:
```json
"config": {
"platform": {
"php": "7.4.29",
"ext-something": "4.0"
}
}
```
