ci(release): replace cargo-release+gitmoji-changelog with release-plz

  Removes BOM generation (stale, unused) and gitmoji-changelog. Replaces
  cargo-release with release-plz + git-cliff for version bumps,
  CHANGELOG updates, and crates.io publishing.

  Merges binary build and krew-update jobs into release-plz.yaml as
  conditional jobs (releases_created == true) to avoid the  GITHUB_TOKEN
  cross-workflow trigger restriction — no PAT required.

  Existing tag format (no v-prefix) preserved via git_tag_name.
