ci: Fix triggering events and release actions

* Run CI only on pull requests, push to main and push
  to tags matching v*. This avoids running the CI more than
  once for a single user action
* Change pre-releases, which are now identified by a version
  number with 4 components (e.g., 1.1.1.1)
* Change how release artifacts are packaged, ensuring they
  are executable and compressed with xz
