Will Jones 5349e8b1db 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.

LanceDB Documentation

LanceDB docs are deployed to https://lancedb.github.io/lancedb/.

Docs is built and deployed automatically by Github Actions whenever a commit is pushed to the main branch. So it is possible for the docs to show unreleased features.

Building the docs

Setup

  1. Install LanceDB. From LanceDB repo root: pip install -e python
  2. Install dependencies. From LanceDB repo root: pip install -r docs/requirements.txt
  3. Make sure you have node and npm setup
  4. Make sure protobuf and libssl are installed

Building node module and create markdown files

See Javascript docs README

Build docs

From LanceDB repo root:

Run: PYTHONPATH=. mkdocs build -f docs/mkdocs.yml

If successful, you should see a docs/site directory that you can verify locally.

Run local server

You can run a local server to test the docs prior to deployment by navigating to the docs directory and running the following command:

cd docs
mkdocs serve

Run doctest for typescript example

cd lancedb/docs
npm i
npm run build
npm run all
