We've used a zip for the duration of the private beta but macOS users
expect a dmg. This commit changes both of our release workflows to begin
building a dmg instead of a zip.
Ghostty now has a release channel build configuration. Current valid
values are "tip" and "stable" but I imagine more will be added in the
future.
The release channel is inferred whether the version we specify with the
`-Dversion-string` build flag has a prerelease tag or not. If it does,
the release channel is "tip". If it doesn't, the release channel is
"stable".
This also adds a configuration to specify the release channel for
auto-updates for the macOS application.
This adds a new workflow for building and releasing _tagged versions_
of Ghostty. The workflow is triggered automatically by new tags in the
format of `vX.Y.Z` but can also be manually triggered by running the
workflow from the GitHub Actions UI.
Release artifacts are uploaded to a completely separate R2 bucket
with its own access policy, retention, API keys, and so on.
There is currently no way to switch between "channels" in the macOS
app. I will follow up with a separate commit to add this feature.

This is the icon that we'll launch Ghostty 1.0 with. It was designed by
Michael Flareup at PixelResort. It retains the style of the original
Ghostty icon by Alasdair Monk, but brings in the new Ghost character and
adds details that make it more Apple-like.
The new Ghost character is an important evolution from the original
since it separates us from looking too much like PacMan. The new Ghost
is more unique and recognizable to Ghostty (or, hopefully will be!).
The icon itself has more details: the aluminum around the edge has
texture for the large enough sizes, there are visible scanlines, the
glow of a screen emanates from the ghost.
The icon itself is stylistic more Apple-like than other platforms. I
think Apple icons tend to look very good in more environments than the
reverse and I'm a big fan of the Apple aesthetic so I wanted to bring
that to Ghostty for all platforms.
The focus of this commit is to store the dSYM files associated with
official macOS builds. dSYM files allow us to map crash reports to
source.
The dSYM files are primarily uploaded to our official blob storage where
all releases are also stored. We also upload the dSYM files to Sentry
since I'm experimenting with using that for crash reproting (note:
manual crash reporting, no automatic network traffic).
This commit also changes our blob URLs for releases to use the full
Git SHA rather than a build number. This is much easier to trace back.
