Update task status handling in tests and release process

Updated the RQTaskQueueService test to initialize a task in a 'started' status and assert its properties get reset to 'idle'. Additionally, revised the release process instructions to incorporate 'commit' and 'bumpversion' commands, and clarified the steps to create a new release from a tag on GitHub.
