Subject: [PATCH] ci(release-please): unlock locked release PR before
 commenting

Locked release-please PRs make the action exit non-zero when it tries
to post the post-merge tagged comment, even though the tag and the
GitHub release are already created. Add a pre-step that detects the
latest release PR via gh search, checks its locked state, and unlocks
it so release-please can finish its cycle cleanly.
