Avoid long-living `cran-*` branches

[krlmlr]

The best way to resolve merge conflicts is to never have them occur in the first place.

Sketch:

• init_release() also takes the responsibility of pre_release(), making sure that the commit that opens the PR has [ci skip] to avoid computing for naught
• pre_release() goes away
• release() creates a tag and merges the cran-* branch into main
  • The fledge GHA workflow avoids updating the main branch if a release is pending (PR exists)
• New reinit_release() for restarting a release attempt based on a tag, same procedure with release()
• post_release() must work off of the most recent non-9000 tag, and can be run unconditionally

An easy win is the tweak to the fledge GHA workflow. Will do this first and ponder on the other details later.

Released RMariaDB with a local verson of ledge that solves the first three bullet points. Need to wrap up and implement reinit_release() (as needed) and automated creation of release.
