   Fixes:
     - Plug XS memory leaks on error paths in Expat.xs
       (externalEntityRef, parse_stream, ParserCreate)
     - Add defensive NULL checks in Expat.xs to prevent crashes
       on memory exhaustion and undefined behavior on short input lines
     - Add explicit package main after inline package declarations
       in test files to clarify scope

   Improvements:
     - Add GitHub Actions workflow to auto-create GitHub
       Releases on tag push, enabling downstream notification via
       GitHub's release watch
     - Update AUTHORS POD in Parser.pm and Expat.pm to reflect
       full maintainer history
     - Add CI badge to POD via =for markdown directive so it
       survives README.md regeneration
     - Rename README to README.md and regenerate from POD

   Maintenance:
     - Modernize 10 legacy test files from print-ok style to
       Test::More (cdata, finish, deep_nesting, xml_escape, partial,
       char_end_doc, current_length, combine_chars, utf8_stream, defaulted)
