feat: adopt Auto-based release strategy from redis-vl-python

Replaces the manual GitHub-Release-triggered publish workflow with an
automated label-driven release pipeline using Intuit Auto.

- Add .autorc with 11 semantic versioning labels (major/minor/patch/skip/release + changelog-only labels)
- Add .github/release-drafter-config.yml for PR auto-labeling and categorized release notes
- Add .github/workflows/auto-release.yml: gate → canary-build → release → build-and-publish
  - Triggers on push to main; skips if merged PR lacks auto:release label
  - Uses GitHub App token (RELEASE_BOT_APP_ID + RELEASE_BOT_PRIVATE_KEY secrets) to commit version bumps and push tags
  - Auto-updates pyproject.toml version and creates GitHub Release with generated changelog
  - Builds and publishes to PyPI via uv at the release tag
- Remove .github/workflows/release.yml (superseded by auto-release.yml)
- Add version auto-management comment to pyproject.toml

Requires two new repo secrets: RELEASE_BOT_APP_ID and RELEASE_BOT_PRIVATE_KEY
(existing PYPI secret is reused).
