updated main workflow to run on tag push

[ADorigi]

Description

• Modified the tag job to create the tags using the github.ref_name, which translates to the pushed tag during workflow run.
  • Removed the step which uses mathieudutour/github-tag-action, as we no longer are generating the tags at runtime.
  • The regex used for release tags that will trigger this job - v[0-9]+.[0-9]+.[0-9]+. Example tag - v1.2.3.
  • The regex used for pre-release tags that will trigger this job - v[0-9]+.[0-9]+.[0-9]+-rc. Example tag - v1.2.3-rc.
  • We can completely remove the tag job in the future and use the github.ref_name, but keeping it for now as other jobs depend on it.

The new steps which will trigger the main workflow:

• push changes to the main branch(merge pull request) - no workflow run will be triggered
• create the tag locally - git tag <new tag>
• push the tag - git push origin --tags
• the workflow run will be triggered

Tested the branch locally and can confirm that the tag job runs successfully. It has the same outputs as before.

Due to an increase in this Pull Request's scope, I am currently closing this. I will shortly create a new pull request with all the changes.

How about keeping the automatic tagging and just make the release to be triggered manually?
