Added discord notification for new release to PyPi

[awanlin]

This adds a notification to Discord when a new release is published to PyPi

One of the maintainers will need to add the DISCORD_RELEASE_WEBHOOK secret as part of this getting merged in.

I'll leave it to @agentbellnorm to do the honors.

One thought that pops in my head: I have a vague memory that the publish pipeline runs on every merge to main, and it kind of implicitly depends on a publish action quietly failing when the version number isn't incremented in the PR. And maybe this could cause the publish announcement to be sent multiple times for a given version?

I may be misremembering.

I've added DISCORD_RELEASE_WEBHOOK, but +1 to Eric's concern

I'm not super familiar with gh-actions, but maybe it's possible to make the workflow

• only run the discord notification if the publishing succeeds
• fail silently if publishing fails

After reading a bit I'd try to break the publishing + notification out into their own job and setting allow-failure: true on that job. wdyt @awanlin ?

OK, thanks for reviewing and the feedback. I made some assumptions based on the way the on.push.paths was setup. I thought this workflow would only run when those files changed (https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#example-including-paths).

I'll take a look at what @agentbellnorm has suggested and if that doesn't get me anywhere I can do what I did with the Demo site and check to see if the commit has changes to the setup.py file.
