Motivation
In a previous PR, I added a Github workflow and scripts to attach a protoc artifactbundle to the latest draft release. This created a chicken and egg problem since we needed to reference the protoc URL in our Package.swift but the URL wasn't public until we published a release.
Modifications
This PR changes the workflow and script so that we create separate protoc-artifactbundle releases with a separate tagging scheme that won't conflict with our normal tags. These releases are only used to distribute protoc artifactbundles.
Result
We can now generate the protoc artifactbundle releases that we can reference in our Package.swift without creating this chicken and egg problem.
