Add make tag for release tagging
- `prerelease`: version-consistency grep across CHANGELOG, install,
  install.ps1, and both man pages (extracted from `release` target)
- `tag`: depends on `prerelease`; signs and pushes the version tag
- RELEASE.md: replace manual tag/push steps with `make tag`

Release process
===============
Building, signing, notarizing, and publishing is handled by
[`.github/workflows/release.yml`](.github/workflows/release.yml),
triggered by a tag push.
## Steps
1. Update version in the following files and commit on `master`:
- `CHANGELOG.md`
- `main.go`
- `install`
- `install.ps1`
- `man/man1/fzf.1`
- `man/man1/fzf-tmux.1`
2. Verify file consistency, sign the tag, and push the tag.
```sh
make tag VERSION=0.73.0
```
`make tag` runs `prerelease` first (checks that the version
appears in CHANGELOG.md, both man pages, install, and install.ps1)
and only signs + pushes the tag if the checks pass.
Only the tag is pushed; `master` on origin still points to the
old version, so `/master/install` keeps resolving against existing
binaries during the publish window.
3. The workflow fires on the tag push and pauses on the `release`
environment gate. Approve it in the Actions tab to release.
4. After the GitHub release is published, fast-forward `master`:
```sh
git push origin master
```
## Testing the workflow
To exercise the workflow without firing a real release:
1. Actions tab -> **Release** -> **Run workflow**.
2. Pick a branch and enter the version currently on that branch
(the version-consistency check requires the input to match the
files in the checked-out tree).
3. Approve the `release` environment gate when prompted.
4. Goreleaser runs with `--snapshot --skip=publish`. Signing and
notarization run; only the GitHub release upload is skipped.
Use this to validate the workflow YAML, version-extraction logic,
the macOS runner setup, and the signing/notarization credentials.
