Feature request: Support for dzil release command

[jonasbn]

User Story

As a developer
I can use dzil release
so that I upload Perl/CPAN releases to PAUSE using Ebirah

Notes

• dzil release builds on: Dist::Zilla::App::Command::release
• We might need to support transport of credentials for PAUSE account.
• The idea of saving the credential to a file readable by Dist::Zilla, does not sound right, so perhaps a mimicking of what Docker CLI does could be useful

Example from command line use:

cat DOCKERHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN | docker login -u jonasbn --password-stdin

REF: Ebirah Wiki: Development

Perhaps this should be accomplished via extending dzil:

Proposal matching Docker example:

cat PAUSE_ACCESS_TOKEN | dzil release --userid jonasbn --password-stdin

And a variation:

dzil release --userid jonasbn --password ****

Proposal for GitHub Action use:

name: Dist::Zilla Action
on: push

jobs:
  dzil:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: "dzil release"
    steps:
      - name: Check out repository
        uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: Uploaded distribution release to CPAN via PAUSE
        uses: jonasbn/[email protected]
        with:
          dzil-arguments: 'release --userid jonasbn --password ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}'

goreleaser-action transports the token via the environment:

name: Dist::Zilla Action
on: push

jobs:
  dzil:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: "dzil release"
    steps:
      - name: Check out repository
        uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: Uploaded distribution release to CPAN via PAUSE
        uses: jonasbn/[email protected]
        with:
          dzil-arguments: 'release --userid jonasbn --password ${GITHUB_TOKEN}'
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Acceptance Criteria

1. ebirah release supports --trial
2. ebirah release supports -j INT
3. ebirah release can successfully upload a distribution to PAUSE
4. ebirah can handle credentials securely

I would love to be able to use something like this specifically for dzil release.
