Subject: [PATCH] ci: open the release pull request as the release app

A release pull request opened with GITHUB_TOKEN triggers no workflows, so its required
checks never reported. The release job now passes the release app's client ID and key to
the shared workflow, which opens the pull request as the app instead.
