bjorn3 d0570a77ce Fix github-release action when the dev tag is missing (#6098)
There was a missing rest field access. In addition createTag doesn't actually create a tag, it creates a tag object. A tag object is an object which references a commit or other kind of object and has various kinds of metadata. You need to store it in a reference stored in refs/tags/ to actually show as tag in the git ui. The code to update the tag however creates a lightweight tag (which is a file in refs/tags/ which directly references a commit rather than a tag object) as such do the same when creating the initial dev tag by using createRef with a commit id as object sha.

See also https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Internals-Git-References for the difference between a lightweight tag and an annotated tag.

github-release

An action used to publish GitHub releases for wasmtime.

As of the time of this writing there's a few actions floating around which perform github releases but they all tend to have their set of drawbacks. Additionally nothing handles deleting releases which we need for our rolling dev release.

To handle all this this action rolls-its-own implementation using the actions/toolkit repository and packages published there. These run in a Docker container and take various inputs to orchestrate the release from the build.

More comments can be found in main.js.

Testing this is really hard. If you want to try though run npm install and then node main.js. You'll have to configure a bunch of env vars though to get anything reasonably working.
