Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Publish a rolling dev release with build artifacts

Port ModbusAdapter's latest-dev release mechanism: cache the Linux
AppImage and Windows zip between jobs, then publish/overwrite a
prerelease tagged latest-dev on every push to master via
softprops/action-gh-release.

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Force-update latest-dev tag to current commit before
 publishing release

softprops/action-gh-release reuses an existing tag as-is and does not
move it, so the rolling latest-dev release could end up with assets
attached but the tag still pointing at an older commit.
