fix: use gh release create instead of action-gh-release (#12180)

This PR switches the PR release workflow from
`softprops/action-gh-release` to `gh release create`.

The `softprops/action-gh-release` action enumerates all releases to
check for existing ones, which fails when the repository has more than
10000 releases due to GitHub API pagination limits. The
`lean4-pr-releases` repository has accumulated over 10000 releases,
causing the PR release workflow to fail with:

```
Only the first 10000 results are available.
```

This is currently blocking all PR toolchain releases, including
https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/pull/12175.
