Enter the new world of GitHub actions [1]/GitLab pipelines [2]. This
simplifies our end of the infrastructure considerably:

* No need any more to set up webhooks, all the relevant configuration
  is right in the workflow file.

* Does not need any infrastructure on our side any more, and thus works
  for third-party projects. They just need to set up their own secrets.

* GitHub automatically provides a temporary `GITHUB_TOKEN` with
  sufficient write access to the project to publish a release, so we
  don't need to carry around that secret. Thus if your project only
  releases to GitHub, there is zero secrets management.

Also adjust cockpituous-release a bit (update Fedora version, fix
project name copy-pasta), point to the action workflow and necessary
secrets.

aims to fully automate project releases to GitHub, Fedora, Ubuntu, COPR, Docker
Hub, and other places. The intention is that the only manual step for releasing
a project is to create a signed tag for the version number; pushing the tag
then triggers a GitHub webhook that calls a set of release scripts (on
Cockpit's CI infrastructure).
then triggers a [GitHub action](https://github.com/features/actions) that calls a set of release scripts.
starter-kit includes an example [cockpitous release script](./cockpituous-release)
that builds an upstream release tarball and source RPM. Please see the above
cockpituous documentation for details.
starter-kit includes an example [cockpitous release script](./cockpituous-release),

[example GitHub release action](.github/workflows/release.yml.disabled) to set
up secrets and run cockpituous.
