[INF] GitHub Auto-Release Pointer

[loganthomas]

PR Description

• With a few simple lines added to .github/workflows/auto-release.yml, we can correctly reference (i.e. "point") to the latest release in the landing page of the GitHub repo. In addition, this will include a "prettier" interface when navigating the releases.
• This has been tested on solid-octo-guac (thanks @ericmjl for keeping this up 😅 ) here
• See https://github.com/ncipollo/release-action

This PR resolves #818

PR Checklist

Please ensure that you have done the following:

1. PR in from a fork off your branch. Do not PR from <your_username>:dev, but rather from <your_username>:<feature-branch_name>.
2. If you're not on the contributors list, add yourself to AUTHORS.rst.
3. Add a line to CHANGELOG.md under the latest version header (i.e. the one that is "on deck") describing the contribution.
   • Do use some discretion here; if there are multiple PRs that are related, keep them in a single line.
