Added workflow to do a CocoaPods release

[ArielDemarco]

Overview

This PR is related to the discussion in this other PR. It introduces a GitHub Actions workflow that enables pushing the DataCompression.podspec to CocoaPods.

Details

The workflow will run in two scenarios:

• Whenever a new tag following semver (excluding pre-releases) is pushed (e.g., x.y.z)
• Manually via the Actions tab in the GitHub UI

It uses the macos-latest runner (as of now, this corresponds to macOS 14).

The workflow exposes a dryRun mode. When enabled, it will lint the podspec using pod lib lint instead of pushing it to trunk via pod trunk push.

Note

When triggered by a tag push, the workflow always runs with dryRun: false, meaning it will push to CocoaPods trunk.

Important

To function properly, a secret named COCOAPODS_TRUNK_TOKEN must be added to the repository’s GitHub Actions secrets.

Test

I’ve tested this action locally in my fork:

• Here's the result of the lint which was triggered via the workflow_dispatch mechanism (aka. manually).
• Here's the result of the push to trunk (which obviously failed because I didn’t add a COCOAPODS_TRUNK_TOKEN in my fork, but it reached the push step, so it’s very likely that everything is set up correctly).

@mw99 Do you think this PR might help you run the process without having to find the actual machines, I think its a great option.
