Subject: [PATCH] Allow release workflow to replace assets on existing releases

The release job now handles re-running against an existing release:
- Checks out the repo and force-moves the version tag to the current commit
- Deletes any existing assets on the release before uploading the new zip
- Renames the step to "Create or update release" to reflect the new behavior
