refactor: unifying snapshot with skip-validate and skip-publish (#575)

* refactor: removed goreleaserlib: moved all to main

* refactor: wip: snapshot

* fix: more pipes

* fix: more pipes

* fix: git tests

* fix: some other validate and publish usages

* fix: git dirty check when snapshoting

* fix: nfpm: use tag instead of version

* test: docker: print docker run output if registry fails
