Vulnerability changelog

=======
This patch release updates some aspects of the CI workflow and documentation,
notably the automated package publishing upon appropriate tag pushing.

Updates / New Features
----------------------

CI

* Reverted previous release automation due to unintended side-effects.
Created a revised publish action to more simply publish the package to pypi,
guarding against activating on fork of the repository.
This workflow has been made to be reusable by other repositories' workflows.

* Modified CI unittests workflow to run for PRs targeting branches that match
the `release*` glob.

* Added additional step in unittest workflow to install optional package
requirements.

* Reduced CodeCov report submission by skipping this step on scheduled runs.

Contribution Guide

* Added instructions to update pending release when making a contribution.

Documentation

* Updated release instructions to be clear on where to push created release
branches. This now includes instructions related to a ``release`` branch.

* Expanded top-level contributing document with more details.

Plugin

* Added a suggestion to fix `NotAModuleError`.

Miscellaneous

* Removed CODE_OF_CONDUCT file. This is not something that we can enforce
at this time so it will be removed.

* Added SMQTK-Descriptors to the ``README.md`` package list and graphic.

* Added script to help with updating versioning and updating changelog during
the release process.

* Updated README to include reference to the SMQTK-IQR package.

* Periodic update of pinned dependency versions in lock file.

* Added missing assert failure message to configuration test helper.

Fixes
-----

Dependency Versions

* Updated the locked version of urllib3 to address a security vulnerability.
Due to this being an implicit dependency, this change only affects those who
create development environments from this repo using `poetry`.

* Updated the developer dependency and locked version of ipython to address a
security vulnerability.

* Removed `jedi = "^0.17.2"` requirement since recent `ipython = "^7.17.3"`
update appropriately addresses the dependency.
