fix: replace softprops/action-gh-release with gh CLI - #409

Conversation
Replace third-party softprops/action-gh-release action with the built-in GitHub CLI (gh release create) in all three release workflows. This eliminates a third-party dependency that isn't in the Azure org's Actions allowlist, avoiding the need to add an external action.

Replace the third-party
softprops/action-gh-releaseaction with the built-in GitHub CLI (gh release create) in all three release workflows.Why
The Azure org's Actions allowlist doesn't include
softprops/action-gh-release. Rather than adding a third-party action from an individual maintainer, this uses theghCLI which is pre-installed on all GitHub runners — zero supply chain risk.Changes
