fix: complete semantic-release workflow with asset uploads and yq fallbacks

- Add fallback values for yq-dependent variables in makefiles/common.mk to prevent errors in containers without yq
- Fix changelog configuration with proper exclude patterns and template structure
- Replace manual semantic-release setup with official GitHub Actions for better reliability
- Add python-semantic-release/publish-action to upload wheel and tarball assets to GitHub releases
- Ensure dist files are properly uploaded to releases for distribution

Fixes semantic-release workflow failures due to missing yq dependency and missing release assets.
