## Summary
This PR removes version numbers from release asset names and updates
documentation to use GitHub's `latest` tag for mcp-publisher downloads.
## Changes
1. **Updated `.goreleaser.yaml`**: Removed `{{ .Version }}` from asset
name templates
- Changed from: `mcp-publisher_{{ .Version }}_{{ .Os }}_{{ .Arch }}`
- Changed to: `mcp-publisher_{{ .Os }}_{{ .Arch }}`
2. **Updated documentation**: Changed all download URLs to use `latest`
tag instead of version-pinned URLs
- `docs/guides/publishing/publish-server.md`
- `docs/guides/publishing/github-actions.md`
## Benefits
- Documentation stays automatically up-to-date without manual changes or
workflows
- Users always get the latest version by default
- Version pinning still possible using specific tags (e.g.,
`https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/registry/releases/download/v1.2.3/mcp-publisher_darwin_amd64.tar.gz`)
- Simpler maintenance and better user experience
## Notes
The new asset naming will take effect with the next release. After that,
users can immediately start using the `latest` tag.

## Motivation and Context
<!-- Why is this change needed? What problem does it solve? -->
The following PR introduces Goreleaser for the releases of the registry
server and the publisher CLI.
**Details:**
- Builds registry and publisher binaries for Linux, macOS, and Windows
(amd64 + arm64)
- Leverage GitHub's release process by creating releases directly from
GitHub's interface
- Added .goreleaser.yaml configuration
- New .github/workflows/release.yml workflow triggered by GitHub
releases
- Updated Docker tagging in deploy workflow (:latest and :semver(the
tag) for releases, :main-YYYYMMDD-sha for testing/development)
- Consolidated version handling in main.go files
- Added release documentation
## How Has This Been Tested?
<!-- Have you tested this in a real application? Which scenarios were
tested? -->
Locally (but we have to test it by creating a release, i.e. v0.0.1 once
this gets merged)
## Breaking Changes
<!-- Will users need to update their code or configurations? -->
Yes, the notion of `latest` for the container image is now different
