🧪 Implement a draft based release PR CI trigger

Normally, PRs/commits published using the default GitHub Actions CI/CD
API token are not propagated to any integrations. This patch marks the
release PR as a draft and leaves a comment asking the maintainers to
mark it as ready for review in order to actually trigger a CI run.

This idea is found in GitHub's own repos:
* github/codeql-action#2263 (comment)
* https://github.com/github/codeql-action/blob/4ebadbc7/.github/workflows/update-dependencies.yml#L38-L41
* github/codeql-action#1868
* github/codeql-action#679
