fix: skip release workflow when docs already match next version

The release workflow re-triggers on main when its own PR merges,
causing `make rc` to fail with "nothing to commit" since docs are
already up to date. Check if the computed NEXT_VERSION already
appears in the install docs before proceeding, and make the Makefile
commit conditional as a defensive fallback.
