Coordinators now dispatch per-OS builds via API

Previously per-OS build workflows triggered on tag push events, but
Gitea doesn't fire events for tags pushed by other workflows. Now:

- release.yml dispatches build-app-{linux,windows,macos}.yml via
  the Gitea API after creating the tag and release
- sidecar-release.yml dispatches build-sidecar-{linux,windows,macos}.yml

Per-OS workflows changed from push+dispatch triggers to dispatch-only
with tag as a required input. To re-run a failed build for the same
version, just dispatch the specific OS workflow with the same tag --
upload logic replaces existing assets automatically.
