Automatically unlock main branch after release publishes

Adds a final step in the changeset-release job that flips the lockBranch
field on the main branch protection rule back to false once a release
publishes successfully. The pre-release lock is still applied manually;
only the unlock is automated for now.

The step requires a RELEASE_ADMIN_TOKEN secret (PAT or GitHub App
installation token with admin permissions on branch protection). If the
secret is not configured, the step warns and skips so it never blocks a
release.
