release-please-config.json sets skip-github-release: true so the
release.yml stable job (not release-please) creates the tag/GitHub
Release. Release-please never sees that as "finalized" and leaves the
merged release PR labeled autorelease: pending forever, which makes it
permanently refuse to open the next release PR ("There are untagged,
merged release PRs outstanding - aborting").
Have the release_github job relabel the merged PR to
autorelease: tagged right after it creates the GitHub release, so
release-please's own bookkeeping matches reality.

The label is a one-time, repo-wide fixture (already created), so attempting to create it on every release was unnecessary. Addressed feedback: https://github.com/open-constructs/cdk-terrain/pull/302/changes#r3522958993
