Description

Problem

We currently build installers manually, so they have to be rebuilt by hand every time we want to release a new version (or provide an installer to a user).

Solution

Add building installers to GitHub Actions. We did this for the 0D solver. This way, every run of the actions has installers that anyone can download. When crafting a new release, installers can be included easily.

Additional context

Adapting this code should give us what we want.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository's existing GitHub Actions workflows, then compare them with the referenced .github/workflows/test.yml from svZeroDSolver. Adapt the installer-building approach for svMultiPhysics and verify that workflow runs produce downloadable installers and that release creation can include them.
