Releases without GitHub Releases. When a push to master or pro carries a herdr-plugin.toml version with no tag yet, the workflow does two things:

Tags the commit v<version>.
Opens and merges a tap PR that points the formula at the tag's source archive, with its checksum.

Branch	Versions	Formula
`master`	stable (`0.21.0`)	`shepherd`
`pro`	pre-release (`0.21.0-alpha.2`)	`shepherd-alpha`

A stable version on pro, or a pre-release on master, is skipped.

Needs the GH_RELEASE_TOKEN secret, the same kind drover uses: a token that can push to and merge PRs on jwarykowski/homebrew-tap.

Testing

shellcheck passes.
DRY_RUN=1:
- With the current versions, it does nothing (the tags exist).
- 0.21.0: tags on master, skipped on pro.
- 0.21.0-alpha.2: tags on pro, skipped on master.
The formula edits, run against copies of shepherd.rb and shepherd-alpha.rb, change only the url, sha256, version and the test's version.
