Subject: [PATCH] chore(ci): use RELEASE_TOKEN PAT in release workflow

Swaps secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN for secrets.RELEASE_TOKEN on actions/checkout
and the changesets/action env. PRs created with GITHUB_TOKEN don't
trigger downstream workflows (GitHub's recursion guard); using a PAT
restores normal pull_request CI triggering.
