Subject: [PATCH 1/2] build: Drop the version from package.json

We're going to be updating it as a part of the semantic release workflow
but it won't make it back here so drop it from the package.json file to
avoid confusion.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] feat: Add NPM release capabilities.

Update the release workflow to also release the frontend package to NPM
at the same time as the backend package gets published to PyPI. We don't
run the full semantic rlease process on the frontend because we already
did that with python-semantic-release so we just need to update the
frontend version and release it.
