feat: add nexus-publish plugin for centralized publishing and authentication

  - Configure sonatype nexusUrl, snapshotRepositoryUrl, username, and password
  - Set version from env variable GITHUB_TAG when available
  - Apply plugins 'idea' and 'jacoco'
  - Register single task 'ship' that depends on publishToSonatype and finalize the release
