feat(workflows): add customizable test execution options to release workflow

- Introduced new inputs: `run_spark_matrix_tests`, `run_spring_gradle_plugin_smoke`, and `run_release_task_tests` for fine-grained test execution control.
- Updated conditional logic for test and Docker-related steps based on new input flags.
- Enhanced flexibility in skipping or including specific test categories during the release process.
