Subject: [PATCH] ci(release): honor [skip-release] marker in tag annotation

Tags annotated with [skip-release] in their message are created
without a GitHub Release. Useful for state-marker tags that should
not be announced as a release.

Example:
  git tag -a v0.1.0-alpha -m 'Release v0.1.0-alpha [skip-release]'
