try fix release build

[qiweiii]

Release build with default optimization can pass traces tests by extend lifetime in an ffi call, but other similar code don't have this issue, so this could be a special case.

And testing with release build revealed other differences, for instance sth related to weak var in blockchain services, which seems to have no way to fix. I guess we have to turn off some optimization.

I went through swift optimization levels (-O, -Osize, -Onone), with related flags only (trying all flags will take too long since i did not find the specific sets of optimization flags for each level), and run our test that can fail in default release build

• -O (performance over code size) does not work no matter which flag is used
• -Osize (prioritizes code size over perf) does not work no matter which flag is used
• -Onone(no optimizations) works of course, but can enable some optimization flags after it

tested flags:

• -disable-actor-data-race-checks
• -enforce-exclusivity=none
• -remove-runtime-asserts
• -disable-dynamic-actor-isolation
• -strict-concurrency=minimal
• -whole-module-optimization
• -no-whole-module-optimization
• -unavailable-decl-optimization=none
• -disable-autolinking-runtime-compatibility-concurrency
• -disable-autolinking-runtime-compatibility-dynamic-replacements
• -disable-migrator-fixits

Aded ci release tests to prevent unexpected release build bugs in future

[github-actions]

The changes introduce a release build to the CI pipeline and attempt to fix the release build process. However, the implementation has some issues. The CI workflow for release tests is overly complex and skips tests for one package, which is concerning. Additionally, key compiler optimizations have been disabled in the release build configurations, which could significantly degrade performance and should be addressed.
