[CI] Prepare for 3.8.0-RC1 release (#24422)

Prepare for releasing 3.8.0-RC1 artifacts by adjusting how artifacts are
published.
We don't introduce a full refactor by switching to use dedicated
environments and `release-maven-artifacts` workflow yet. Instead we're
only adjusting existing, battle-tested workflow to publish artifacts
using new variants of projects to reduce risks due too many moving
parts.
The CI refactor would be introduced for 3.8.1 releases after testing it
first on nightlies in a full workflow (including execution of tests
which is now missing)

Additional minor adjustments: 
- disable publishing to WinGet - this workflow has never succeeded and
requires creation of first release manually
- Switch homepage from GitHub repository to `scala-lang.org` website
