ci: build musl targets with cargo instead of cross

upload-rust-binary-action reaches for `cross` on any *-musl target. Every
entry in the matrix builds on a runner of its own architecture — only the
libc differs — so cross buys nothing, and on the native arm64 runner it
hard-failed:

    error: toolchain 'stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu' may not be able to
    run on this system

That cost v6.0.0 its aarch64-unknown-linux-musl archive; the other five
targets uploaded because the matrix is fail-fast: false.

Re-running the failed job from the Actions UI replays the old workflow file,
which is useless when the workflow is the bug. So the Release workflow now
takes an optional `tag` input that rebuilds and re-uploads binaries for an
existing tag. That value reaches actions/checkout as `ref:` and is typed by
whoever dispatches, so it is checked against a literal version tag first.
