Initialize utilities package with GitHub Packages publishing and CI/CD

[Copilot]

Establishes a TypeScript npm package template for Welcomer Bot utilities with automated publishing to GitHub Packages.

Package Structure

• TypeScript package @welcomer-bot/utils configured for GitHub Packages registry
• 8 text parser utilities: Discord mention parsing, markdown escaping, text manipulation
• Full type definitions and CommonJS exports
• TypeScript configured to target ES2022

Testing

• Jest framework with 25 unit tests covering all utilities
• Coverage reporting configured

CI/CD Pipelines

• CI workflow: Runs tests, linting, and builds on Node.js LTS versions (20.x, 22.x) for all PRs and main branch pushes
• Publish workflow: Automatically publishes to GitHub Packages on release creation using GITHUB_TOKEN with Node.js 22.x

Usage Example

import { parseMention, escapeMarkdown } from '@welcomer-bot/utils';

const userId = parseMention('<@123456789>');  // '123456789'
const safe = escapeMarkdown('*bold* text');    // '\\*bold\\* text'

To publish new versions, create a GitHub release with a version tag (e.g., v1.0.0). The publish workflow handles build and deployment.
