fix: mastodonbot (#187)

attempt to fix the mastodon publisher:

- that the bot does not post on merged pull request, but only on
releases (it used to publish the merge and the release)
- that the script is found (./post_to_mastodon.sh does not seem to work,
perhaps $(pwd)/post_to_mastodon.sh will?)

## Summary by CodeRabbit

- **Chores**
	- Updated GitHub Actions workflow for Mastodon posting.
- Modified workflow trigger to run on push to the main branch after a
pull request merge.
- Changed environment variable to use release tag name instead of pull
request title.
	- Added a step to check out the repository.
