Fix release PR auto-merge checks

[zbeyens]

Summary

• Skip managed Auto release checkbox management for PR titles containing Version packages.
• Let release PR pull_request runs produce the required CI check instead of a skipped required check.
• Add helper coverage and document the release-PR ruleset trap.

Verification

• bun test tooling/scripts/auto-release-pr.test.mjs
• node --check tooling/scripts/auto-release-pr.mjs && node --check tooling/scripts/auto-release-pr.test.mjs
• ruby -e 'require "yaml"; ...' .github/workflows/ci.yml .github/workflows/changeset-auto-release.yml
• git diff --check
• pnpm lint:fix
• pnpm check

Note

PR #4961 already has auto-merge enabled. It is blocked because CI is a required check and the current workflow marks it skipped for [Release] Version packages PRs.
