Build and publish a prebuilt release binary on tag push - #17

Conversation
Adds a build job to what was update-homebrew-tap.yml: it compiles a universal (arm64+x86_64) release binary, packages it with the SWBBuildServiceBundle executable and swift-build's resource bundles, verifies the tarball runs after being extracted elsewhere, and publishes it as a GitHub Release asset. The existing tap-update job now points the Homebrew formula at that asset instead of re-hashing the source archive on every tag, so `brew install` can switch from building from source to unpacking a prebuilt binary.

- Verify both staged executables are actually universal via lipo -info instead of relying on --help, which returns before Serve.run() and never exercises the co-located SWBBuildServiceBundle lookup or would catch a single-arch artifact. - Derive the product directory from `swift build --show-bin-path` instead of hardcoding .build/apple/Products/Release. - Let the publish step tolerate a release that already exists (upload instead of create), so a rerun after update-tap fails doesn't die trying to recreate it.
