ci: use fine-grained PAT for release-please to trigger Docker builds

GITHUB_TOKEN cannot trigger other workflows by design. Using a
fine-grained PAT (RELEASE_PLEASE_TOKEN) scoped to this repo only
allows releases to properly trigger the docker-publish workflow.

# Note: We use a fine-grained PAT (RELEASE_PLEASE_TOKEN) instead of GITHUB_TOKEN
# because GITHUB_TOKEN cannot trigger other workflows (like docker-publish.yml).
# This is a GitHub security feature to prevent infinite workflow loops.

# The PAT requires these permissions (scoped to this repository only):
# - Contents: Read and write (for creating releases and pushing tags)
# - Pull requests: Read and write (for creating/updating release PRs)
