Enable self-contained, trimmed, compressed single-file builds

Updated build and test workflows and project settings to produce self-contained, single-file executables with trimming, ReadyToRun, and compression enabled. Removed creation and handling of release zip archives, and updated checksum generation to reflect the new output. These changes reduce executable size and simplify release artifacts.
