Add a --watch option to wait until the release actually completes on GitHub Actions

🤔 What's the problem you're trying to solve?

My attention span needs to have a single place to look when I run the release.

✨ What's your proposed solution?

Something like this https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-parent/pull/41/files

⛏ Have you considered any alternatives or workarounds?

Wrap it with my own script.

📚 Any additional context?

I realise this is a total luxury feature.

No this is good.

It closes a feedback cycle with automation. Consider watching by default if the prerequisites are met (tool installed, token available).

This is very much unlike the features that support doing manual steps due to a lack of trust.

This could be unrealistic. Today when I used the tool to release cucumber/multi_test, and admittedly GitHub is having some performance issues today, it took several seconds before the job even appeared in gh run list. We'd certainly need to build it to be robust enough to handle that stuff being slow.

I might experiment with building it as a separate script I can pipe to, for now.
