What this PR does / why we need it:
Up until recently, creating a new GitHub release (and associated artifacts) when a new tag was created, was being done using Drone CI. Now that Drone CI has been deprecated, there is a GitHub Actions workflow that is responsible for doing this. In fact, most of the work is delegated to goreleaser which is being invoked as part of that workflow.
