NOISSUE refactor to update copyright notices and improve workflow scripts

- Updated copyright notices in various files to reflect "Project Tick" instead of "Project Tick Contributors".
- Added a new GitHub Action for packaging source tarballs with multiple formats and GPG signing options.
- Introduced a dependabot configuration for automated dependency updates across various ecosystems.
- Enhanced CI workflows by improving command syntax for better readability and consistency.
- Added checks to skip commit message linting for automated bot PRs (e.g., Dependabot).
- Improved source tree preparation and packaging steps in the meshmc and neozip release workflows.
- Updated documentation to reflect changes in authorship and project information.
