Description

The OpenSearch project no longer supports tagging in workflows or use of app tokens. The release GitHub Action currently creates the tag for a release. Now that this is unsupported, the release GHA validates that the tag exists and matches what we expect from the gradle.properties file. Both the release and release-prepare-branch GitHub Actions currently create PRs against the repo. The new approach uses a dedicated fork for creating these PRs. Access to the fork is granted via a personal access token. This commit also updates related documentation for setting up a repository for releases.

I tested this in my fork with the following workflow run:
