fix(ci): attribute release tag to GitHub App

[Piccirello]

Releases are still attributed to github-actions, but this change should result in future releases being attributed to releaser-posthog-python.

Example: https://github.com/PostHog/posthog-python/releases/tag/v7.9.9

   Create GitHub Release step still uses the default actions token

   The "Tag release" step was updated to use steps.releaser.outputs.token (the releaser GitHub App token), which will correctly attribute the annotated tag object to releaser-posthog-python. However, the "Create GitHub Release" step still uses secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN — the default github-actions app token.

   On GitHub's releases page, the "Released by" attribution is determined by the actor that calls the create-release API endpoint (i.e. whoever authenticates gh release create). With the default actions token still in use here, the release page will continue showing github-actions as the author rather than releaser-posthog-python.

   If the intent is to have the full release attributed to releaser-posthog-python, this step should also use steps.releaser.outputs.token as GH_TOKEN instead of the default token.

Should probably be turned into a shared action if this works! This is a bit cryptic
