ci: publish package on merge to dev/main with separate dev and stable packages

Replace the tag-only publish trigger (no v* tags ever existed, so the
package was never built) with branch-push publishing:

- dev push  -> aegis-gitea-mcp-dev at X.Y.Z.dev<run_number> (always unique)
- main push -> aegis-gitea-mcp at X.Y.Z, a clean no-op via uv --check-url
  if that version is already in the registry

Name + version are patched into pyproject.toml at build time only; the
committed file keeps aegis-gitea-mcp / X.Y.Z. Lint + test gates still run
before publish, and the REGISTRY_TOKEN secret is required (fail-closed).
