Fix version tag issue and update workflows

Fixes #263 Add a step to update the git tag with the major version in the `release.yml` workflow. * Add a new step "Update Major Version Tag" after the "Create Release" step * Extract the major version from the full semver string and create a new git tag with just the major version * Push the new tag to the repository using the `GITHUB_TOKEN` for authentication --- For more details, open the [Copilot Workspace session](https://copilot-workspace.githubnext.com/metcalfc/changelog-generator/issues/263?shareId=XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX).
