Subject: [PATCH] CI: create the Gitea release object if missing on tag (was
 failing to publish)

A pushed git tag doesn't create a Gitea release object, so the publish step
404'd trying to attach the APK. Now it creates the release if absent (with
contents:write permission), then uploads. v1.0.65 was published manually.
