Subject: [PATCH] docs: add dynamic latest-release version badge to README

Adds a shields.io badge that queries the GitHub Releases API live,
so the README always shows the current latest release with zero
maintenance.

 Publishes the semrel release to GitLab.
 
 This plugin is distributed as the standalone Go binary `semrel-plugin-provider-gitlab`. Semrel executes the binary as a subprocess, provides plugin configuration through `SEMREL_PLUGIN_*` environment variables, provides release context through `SEMREL_*` environment variables, reads standard output, and treats exit code `0` as success and any non-zero exit code as failure. Install the binary in `~/.semrel/plugins/` or anywhere on your `$PATH`.
