This change ensures that Outdated dependency badges accurately reflect the
build status

The README includes:
- Project overview and purpose as a supplemental library for Hedgehog
- Installation instructions for package.yaml and .cabal files
- Detailed release workflow documentation covering both automatic and
  manual tagging processes
- CI/CD pipeline integration with GitHub Actions
- Hackage candidate upload and publication process
- Build status badges for dependency tracking and CI status

The release documentation is particularly comprehensive, explaining:
- Automatic tag creation when version bumps are pushed to main
- Manual tag creation process for direct control
- Automated workflow steps including testing, validation, and Hackage
  candidate uploads
- Post-workflow steps for reviewing and publishing candidates

Implements comprehensive automated publishing to Hackage with proper
validation and error handling, while consolidating the CI/CD pipeline
for more efficient releases.

Publishing improvements:
- Switch from curl-based uploads to native cabal upload command
- Configure credentials via cabal config file instead of curl auth
- Add automatic version extraction from cabal file
- Implement duplicate upload detection to prevent failures
- Support both candidate and production publishing modes

Release workflow enhancements:
- Merge separate publish job into release job for efficiency
- Add write permissions for automated release creation
- Support both tag-based and manual release triggers
- Switch to softprops/action-gh-release for robust releases
- Remove redundant artifact upload steps

Configuration changes:
- Add HACKAGE_USERNAME and HACKAGE_PASSWORD secret configuration
- Install Haskell toolchain in release job for cabal commands

This change significantly simplifies the deployment pipeline while
adding proper error handling and validation to prevent common
publishing issues like duplicate uploads or missing credentials.
