Use OIDC @ GHA to PyPI publishing guide

This patch rewrites the "Publishing package distribution releases using GitHub
Actions CI/CD workflows" guide to use trusted publishing instead of long-lived
PyPI API tokens stored as GitHub repository secrets. It also shows how to
protect the PyPI publishing job by creating a GitHub Environment that requires
a human to manually approve the job run. Besides, it demonstrates how to avoid
accidental privilege escalation by employing the principle of least privilege
and separating the package build process with reduced privileges from the
publishing jobs with elevated privileges that are mandatory for Trusted
Publishing to work by being able to access OIDC.
As a bonus, this change introduces a job that uploads the dists to GitHub
Releases and signs them using Sigstore, which is of special interest as PyPI
dropped support for GPG.
