Subject: [PATCH] Publish development binaries as OCI artifacts

Adds GitHub workflow to publish bcvk binaries from main branch to
ghcr.io/bootc-dev/bcvk-binary as OCI artifacts. This enables testing
unreleased features in downstream CI (like bootc) without building
from the source.
Binaries can be pulled with:
oras pull ghcr.io/bootc-dev/bcvk-binary:x86_64-latest

Fixes:#181
