Fix multiple continuous release binaries (#1948)

* ci,scripts: remove unused lua patching code

* ci: remove old continuous release binaries

* ci: generate release notes when releasing with tags

* ci: remove the unicode patch flag

* ci: add content: write permission to GH_TOKEN

* ci: use ncipollo/release-action@v1

* ci: update existing releases

* ci: actually set removeArtifacts to true

* ci: do not rebuild for both bundle and portable

We now allow using meson setup --reconfigure, which will preserve the build cache, and changes nothing but the installation path

* build.sh: fix wrong conditional

* ci: fix tar command output

* ci: fix tar command extracting to wrong directory

* ci: add merge-multiple: true to properly lay out the artifacts

* ci: only upload the correct files
