Fix APT repo publishing step in release workflow (blocked by branch protection) #304

Description

@zheli

The "Update APT repository on main" step in `.github/workflows/release.yml` clones `main`, appends the new `.deb` under `apt/`, commits, and pushes directly to `main`. This fails because branch protection rules now require changes to go through a pull request:

remote: error: GH013: Repository rule violations found for refs/heads/main.
remote: - Changes must be made through a pull request.

See failing run: https://github.com/bitdynamics-ab/canton-devkit/actions/runs/31157555535/job/92800279548

The step has been temporarily disabled (`if: false`) so releases aren't blocked. Follow-up work:

  • Rework the step to open a PR (e.g. via `gh pr create` + auto-merge, or push to a branch and merge via API) instead of pushing straight to `main`.
  • Re-enable the step once fixed.
