When Lance 3.0.0 released the check_lance_release.py script did not make
a PR for it because it was a pre-release. This change may not be perfect
but it always ranks stable releases above non-stable releases.
This PR will add a timely lance release check for lancedb which will
auto bump lance while new tags released.
