Updating the DAFNI Workflow

[f-allian]

This pull request introduces improvements to the DAFNI containerization and workflow for the Causal Testing Framework. The main changes include a more flexible and automated entrypoint script, enhanced configuration via environment variables, improved documentation, and some workflow and metadata updates.

Containerization and Workflow Automation:

• Added a new entrypoint.sh script that auto-detects whether to generate or test causal tests based on the presence of the causal_tests.json file, or allows explicit override via the EXECUTION_MODE environment variable. All command-line options are now configurable through the .env file. (dafni/entrypoint.sh, dafni/Dockerfile, dafni/.env, dafni/README.md) [1] [2] [3] [4]

Configuration and Environment:

• Centralized all configuration (input/output filenames, estimator options, execution mode, and other parameters) into the .env file, making the Docker image and workflow more flexible and easier to maintain. (dafni/.env, dafni/README.md) [1] [2]
• Updated the Dockerfile to use the new entrypoint script and corrected the maintainer label. (dafni/Dockerfile) [1] [2]

Documentation Improvements:

• Expanded the DAFNI-specific README.md to clarify directory structure, configuration, workflow, and usage of the .env file. Also updated the main README.md with contact information and corrected example command-line arguments to use the new flag names. (dafni/README.md, README.md) [1] [2] [3]

Workflow and CI Adjustments:

• Simplified the GitHub Actions workflow for publishing to DAFNI: now only the major version is extracted from the release tag, and the unit test step was removed from the publish workflow. (.github/workflows/publish-to-dafni.yaml) [1] [2] [3]

I fixed a couple of little typos/inconsistencies, but otherwise looks good.

@jmafoster1 Thanks Michael. There's a quick bug in the model definition - I'm just trying to debug it. I'll fix that then I'll merge.
