Because the current build artifacts created by the build workflow can only be downloaded by GitHub users and are automatically deleted after 90 days. Putting them into a release allows everyone to download them.
Before merging this:
Create a latest-dev tag on the dev branch.
Create a pre-release release for the latest-dev tag.
The new dev-release workflow, will:
build the mod (as it is currently doing in the build workflow)
prefix the artifact zip with date and time (UTC)
find the release associated with the latest-dev tag
attach the artifact zip to the release assets
move the latest-dev tag to the commit the workflow runs for (so to the latest commit on dev).
