Automate publishing podspecs to CocoaPods (#313)

Resolves #311 by adding a job which runs when new release tags are created and automatically publishes new releases to CocoaPods. I also updated the documentation to reflect the new release process. A sample run can be seen here (against this PR, not a release tag): https://github.com/connectrpc/connect-swift/actions/runs/11345378532/job/31552734926?pr=313 --------- Signed-off-by: Michael Rebello <[email protected]>
