✨ feat: enhance release workflow with manual controls

- 🎯 Add manual rebuild mode for on-demand package updates
- 🎛 Add variant selection (both/latest/edge)
- 📅 Separate rebuild schedules (weekly stable, 3-day edge)
- ⚡ Eliminate redundant edge rebuilds (~50% CI/CD reduction)
- 📝 Update documentation (README.md)
