chore: add release automation

Add a dedicated release helper so version and revision metadata can be
prepared consistently before publishing a new release.

Use git attributes to keep developer tooling and repository metadata out
of generated source archives. Also ignore the dist directory created
during the release process.

+# DESCRIPTION
+#     Release helper for transcode.sh.
+#
+#     This developer script prepares and publishes project releases. The prepare
+#     command updates release metadata in the main script, man page, and README
+#     markers. The release command verifies that metadata, commits the release,
+#     creates an annotated git tag, and writes the source archive to dist/.
+#
+# NOTES
+#     This script respects the NO_COLOR standard (https://no-color.org/).
+#
+# AUTHOR
+#     Dennis Fink <me+coding@dennisfink.me>

+
+# TRACE enables bash execution tracing and is intended for debugging control
+# flow / expansions. DEBUG enables structured debug messages (see debug()) and
+# is intended for high-level state reporting.
+#
+# Recommended usage:
+#   TRACE=1 scripts/release.sh ...  # show every command bash executes
+#   DEBUG=1 scripts/release.sh ...  # show script-defined debug messages

+# SHELL SCRIPT HARDENING
+#
+# This script enables strict and predictable behavior for improved safety,
+# security, and debuggability. These measures help avoid common pitfalls
+# such as accidental globbing, unexpected alias expansion, silent failures,
+# or unintended word splitting.

+
+# Unalias everything to avoid unexpected alias expansion

+
+# Clear the shell command hash table to avoid stale command lookups

+# Set a safe IFS to prevent word-splitting vulnerabilities
+IFS=$'\n\t'
+
+# Set a secure default file creation mask (controls default permissions)
+umask 002
