Subject: [PATCH] fix(ci): preserve in-progress runs on release/* branches

Previously cancel-in-progress was only disabled for main, so a
back-to-back push to release/v1.1.0-incubating cancelled the prior
run mid-flight and left release branches with partial CI signal.
Release branches share main's "production" risk profile, so apply
the same exemption.

Closes #4882
