ci: reduce no-op release checks

[chubes4]

Summary

• Stop Homeboy from running on release commits or release tags, and cancel stale Homeboy runs instead of queueing main-branch checks behind obsolete pushes.
• Keep full audit,lint,test for PRs and manual runs while reducing main-push Homeboy to test, so known full-tree audit/lint baseline drift does not repeatedly block release churn.
• Move cheap release skip checks ahead of homeboy release --dry-run, avoiding dependency setup when HEAD already failed or has no releasable conventional commits.

Verification

• Parsed .github/workflows/homeboy.yml and .github/workflows/release.yml with Ruby YAML.
• Ran the cheap release precheck locally on current main HEAD; v0.139.39..HEAD returned could-release=false.
• actionlint is not installed locally, so dedicated actionlint validation was not available.

AI assistance

• AI assistance: Yes
• Tool(s): OpenCode (GPT-5.5)
• Used for: Investigated failing main workflow runs, drafted the workflow changes, and ran local syntax/precheck validation for Chris to review.
