Update release script

[oschwald]

Summary

• synchronize the release safeguards with maxminddb-golang#226
• validate the first changelog heading and pin the checked commit
• bind GitHub operations to the repository from origin and create the release with --target
• require Linux/amd64 for the native and race checks while retaining an explicit linux/386 test

Validation

• bash -n dev-bin/release.sh
• go mod tidy
• go mod verify
• go generate ./...
• go test
• go test ./...
• go test -race ./...
• CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=linux GOARCH=386 go test ./...
• golangci-lint fmt
• golangci-lint run
• git diff --check

Walkthrough

The release script now validates changelog metadata, repository and release state, platform requirements, and build checks. It captures the release commit and separates branch pushing, tag race detection, and GitHub release preparation.

Changes

Release validation and publication

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Release metadata and remote preflight dev-bin/release.sh	The script validates the first changelog heading with Semantic Versioning and date rules. It resolves the GitHub repository and checks local tags, remote tags, authentication, and existing releases.
Platform and repository checks dev-bin/release.sh	The script requires Linux/amd64 and CGO_ENABLED=1. It runs go mod tidy and a Linux/386 test with the existing release checks.
Race-safe publication dev-bin/release.sh	The script verifies that HEAD is unchanged, pushes the branch separately, rechecks the remote tag, and prepares the GitHub release from the captured commit.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Poem

A rabbit checks the version line,
Then tests the build in strict design.
The branch hops first, the tag waits near,
A remote race gets checked with care.
The release follows the captured ear.
