ci: make preview releases (#1302)

This PR changes the release process. Some parts are more complex, and
other parts I've simplified.

## Simplifications

* Combined `Create Release Commit` and `Create Python Release Commit`
into a single workflow. By default, it does a release of all packages,
but you can still choose to make just a Python or just Node/Rust release
through the arguments. This will make it rarer that we create a Node
release but forget about Python or vice-versa.
* Releases are automatically generated once a tag is pushed. This
eliminates the manual step of creating the release.
* Release notes are automatically generated and changes are categorized
based on the PR labels.
* Removed the use of `LANCEDB_RELEASE_TOKEN` in favor of just using
`GITHUB_TOKEN` where it wasn't necessary. In the one place it is
necessary, I left a comment as to why it is.
* Reused the version in `python/Cargo.toml` so we don't have two
different versions in Python LanceDB.

## New changes

* We now can create `preview` / `beta` releases. By default `Create
Release Commit` will create a preview release, but you can select a
"stable" release type and it will create a full stable release.
  * For Python, pre-releases go to fury.io instead of PyPI
* `bump2version` was deprecated, so upgraded to `bump-my-version`. This
also seems to better support semantic versioning with pre-releases.
* `ci` changes will now be shown in the changelog, allowing changes like
this to be visible to users. `chore` is still hidden.

## Versioning

**NOTE**: unlike how it is in lance repo right now, the version in main
is the last one released, including beta versions.

### Preview releases
Stable releases are created about every 2 weeks. For the latest features and bug
fixes, you can install the preview release. These releases receive the same
level of testing as stable releases, but are not guaranteed to be available for
more than 6 months after they are released. Once your application is stable, we
recommend switching to stable releases.
=== "Python"
```shell
pip install --pre --extra-index-url https://pypi.fury.io/lancedb/ lancedb
```
=== "Typescript"
```shell
npm install vectordb@preview
```
=== "Rust"
We don't push preview releases to crates.io, but you can referent the tag
in GitHub within your Cargo dependencies:
```toml
[dependencies]
lancedb = { git = "https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb.git", tag = "vX.Y.Z-beta.N" }
```
