This adds a `Publish` stage to the combined `Jenkinsfile` which when the
`PUBLISH` parameters is true pushes a __draft__ release to GitHub.
The job remembers the last value of `PUBLISH` parameter selected.
The release uses the contents of the `VERSION` file at the root of the
repo as the name for the release, and leaves the contents to be filled
in by whoever will approve the release.
The automation overwrites - or to be exact, deletes and recreates - the
release, so releated builds for the same release will simply re-create
it. All the built artifacts are included in the release.

This is part of a general restructuring in layout of Jenkins job folders
before we can properly introduce Release signing and notarization.
We need this to distinguish between pr/dev builds and release ones to
avoid signing the dev builds with a release certificate.
The meta job managed with `ci/Jenkinsfile.combined` runs a job for all 3
platforms and currently is quite basic, but in the future can be
extended to include - like the mobile one - updating the nightlies page,
or publishing draft GitHub releases.
The addition of `make check-pkg-target-*` steps to other `Jenkinsfile`s
is necessary because the sub-jobs under `platforms` have no option for
checking out Git submodules at the beginning, so I'm making use of how
the `Makefile` works and triggering that with a target that doesn't do much.
