1. v2 is the new tracking tag …

   We're about to cut a new major version of this action,
   and we don't anticipate any further releases of the `v1`
   line.
   
   So I simply updated the automation to float the `v2` tag.
   
   Technically we could make it so it intelligently looks at
   the release number and updates the appropriate tag, but
   that'd be a bit more work and we don't need that complexity
   in this repo right now given our very infrequent cadence of
   bumping major versions.
   
   As explained in a [code comment](https://github.com/dependabot/fetch-metadata/blob/f2f0ad1522845af9cf040e91326888ed5d56e3f8/.github/workflows/release-move-tracking-tag.yml#L11-L28):
   ```
       # We have a choice - defensiveness vs convenience:
       # 1. Be defensive by filtering if the release doesn't look like a normal
       #    version, or if it's a patch release to an older version... the logic
       #    gets tricky quickly. Easiest way to be 100% sure is stop running this
       #    on `release` and instead require a human to manually run this workflow
       #    after they tag a release.
       # 2. Minimize the upfront hassle by assuming every release is a normal
       #    version release and the latest one. Today both are resoundingly true
       #    as this repo isn't that active/busy, so we don't worry about
       #    multiple release branches, pre-releases, etc.
       #
       # For now I've gone with option 2, as it is much more convenient and if we
       # typo something during a release it's easy to fix by immediately tagging a
       # correct release. And if we don't notice the typo, well, in that case
       # requiring a human to manually run the workflow wouldn't have protected us
       # either, we'd have had to filter by only things that look like versions.
       # Anyway, for now this is good enough, and if it gets to be a problem down
       # the road we increase the robustness of this.
