gh-176: revamp publishing workflow

[Saransh-cpp]

The developers will now be able to download wheels as artifacts from GH Actions without actually publishing a release. This helps in checking if everything is working well or if you want to distribute a pre-release wheel. Anyways, it is a good practice to keep these 2 jobs separate.

Closes: #176
Refs: #187

I'm not sure how checkout without setting fetch-depth: 0 was working (or maybe it was silently failing)? Given that glass uses VCS for versioning, it becomes important to pull in the entire git history (not a bad thing) to make the versions/tags work.

It should work since it's the release tag itself that is being cloned to a depth of 1 here:

% git clone --branch v2024.1 --depth 1 https://github.com/glass-dev/glass.git glass-v2024.1
% cd glass-v2024.1 
% git describe --tags
v2024.1

Ah, I see, the workflow is triggered when a release is published so the it checkouts on the tag and not the branch. That makes sense, thanks!

[Saransh-cpp]

Can be manually triggered now to build wheels.

Why are there testing files in this PR? Seems unrelated

[Saransh-cpp]

Ah, I should look at my git history more closely while jumping between branches. Thanks for pointing out!
