refactor(distribution): automate release procedure

* use pathlib in distribution scripts
* construct relative paths from script locn, not cwd
* synchronize version file updates with file lock
* rename mkdist.py -> build_dist.py
* rename evaluate_run_times.py -> benchmark.py
* rename make_release.py -> update_version.py
* introduce build_docs.py
* add argparse CLI for each script
* add tests/test configuration for scripts
* add post-build checks for distribution
* move .fprettify from distribution/ to proj root
* add release.yml to automate release procedure
* add release documentation to distribution/README.md
* add path argument too mk_runtimecomp.py
* deduplicate mf6 -v version string output
* add bin/sh header to Unix example scripts
* update version string substituted into docs (<version>---Release Candidate -> <version>rc)
* test distribution scripts in CI test job
* cache example models in CI test job
* ignore ci.yml on md/docs changes
