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.

When we turned on fat LTO builds, we made the release build job **much**
more compute and memory intensive. The ARM runners have particularly low
memory per core, which makes them susceptible to OOM errors. To avoid
issues, I have enabled memory swap on ARM and bumped the side of the
runner.
Most recent release failed because `release` depends on `node-macos`,
but we renamed `node-macos` to `node-macos-{x86,arm64}`. This fixes that
by consolidating them back to a single `node-macos` job, which also has
the side effect of making the file shorter.
We had some build issues with npm publish for cross-compiling arm64
macos on an x86 macos runner. Switching to m1 runner for now until
someone has time to deal with the feature flags.
follow-up tracked here: #688
* Refactors the Node module to load the shared library from a separate
package. When a user does `npm install vectordb`, the correct optional
dependency is automatically downloaded by npm.
* Add scripts and instructions to build Linux and MacOS node artifacts
locally.
* Add instructions for publishing the npm module and crates.
