Add a GHA workflow which triggers whenever a versioned tag is pushed. It will automatically draft a release using https://github.com/softprops/action-gh-release. Git archives of the repo *and all of its submodules* are generated using https://github.com/Kentzo/git-archive-all and uploaded as release artifacts (in both .zip and .tar.gz format).
This is intended as a workaround for dear-github/dear-github#214. The archives generated by GitHub on each release do not include submodules. This is inconvenient for distributing via package repositories like PyPI and conda-forge, which typically prefer to fetch source tarballs from GitHub.
