Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. This makes Google Benchmark simple to add as a dependency in a bazel project.

Describe the solution you'd like The repository would install the Publish to BCR github application to automate the submission of any releases to the Bazel Central Registry BCR

Describe alternatives you've considered A user can use the git_override commands in their MODULE.bazel but this requires knowledge of the commit sha of the repo and can't be cached by bazel's repository cache.

Research direction
The feature request is to integrate the Publish to BCR GitHub app. First, review the app's documentation at https://github.com/bazel contrib/publish to bcr. Then, add the necessary GitHub Actions workflow to the repository to automatically submit releases to the Bazel Central Registry. Ensure the repository has a valid MODULE.bazel file and that releases are properly tagged. Consider testing with a sample release to verify the automation.
