MQT Core 2.0.0 Release - Beta 1

👀 What Changed

With #371 being in, we are getting closer to a full release.
This constitutes the first (pre-)release of MQT Core that ships with fully-fledged Python bindings for the QuantumComputation class and class relevant to it.
Any top level projects may now start to switch to using MQT Core from Python and switch to the native Python integration with Qiskit.

MQT Core 2.0.0 Release - Alpha 4

👀 What Changed

Yet another publishing test release. Moved trusted publishing out of reusable workflow.
