Subject: [PATCH] ci: Add a new step to update pyln versions out of WORKDIR

The Publish distribution stage was failing because it executed the update-pyln-versions script from within the WORKDIR, which created an invalid context. To resolve this, we have decoupled the process, separating the updating of version state into its own step that runs from the root directory before the publish operation.

Changelog-None.
