Use RELEASE_PAT to bypass ruleset in release workflow

[adamtheturtle]

The release workflow fails because git-auto-commit-action cannot push the CHANGELOG bump commit directly to main — the repository ruleset requires 3 status checks to pass, and the default GITHUB_TOKEN cannot bypass rulesets.

Use the existing RELEASE_PAT organization secret (a PAT with admin bypass privileges) in the checkout step so that the push succeeds.

Note

Medium Risk
Changes the credentials used by the release pipeline to an elevated PAT; misconfiguration or leakage could increase repository write access, though the change is small and isolated to the workflow.

Overview
Updates the Release GitHub Actions workflow to checkout with a dedicated RELEASE_PAT (instead of the default GITHUB_TOKEN) so the git-auto-commit-action changelog bump commit can push to main even when repository rulesets require status checks.
