Sign and notarize the Crow app for macOS distribution so users can install without Gatekeeper warnings. Adds entitlements for hardened runtime (no sandbox — required for spawning arbitrary dev tools), a signing/notarization script, DMG creation, dynamic versioning from git tags, and a GitHub Actions release workflow triggered on v* tags.
