Subject: [PATCH] chore(ci): replace unmaintained release-drafter fork with
 upstream v7.5.1

This workflow pinned valentijnscholten/release-drafter, a fork whose only
functional delta over upstream was a `previous-version` input. That input
existed because upstream could not start a changeset from an arbitrary
release, so a minor-to-minor changeset was not expressible.

Upstream now covers that use case with `filter-by-range`, which restricts
which past releases are eligible to be treated as the previous release by
evaluating each tag with semver.satisfies(). Passing the previous minor tag
exactly (e.g. '3.1.0') selects it as the start of the changeset, so the fork
is no longer needed:

  filter-by-range: '*'              -> 3.1.303  (most recent, previous behaviour)
  filter-by-range: '>=3.1.0 <3.2.0' -> 3.1.303 down to the newest 3.1.x
  filter-by-range: '3.1.0'          -> 3.1.0    (minor-to-minor)

The fork has also been frozen since 2021 and cannot parse the current
config's category schema beyond ignoring it: its Joi schema validates with
allowUnknown, so the `when:` keys added in #15264 are silently dropped and
every category collapses to an empty label set. Its next run would have
produced an ungrouped changelog.

A `dry-run` input is added so the range can be confirmed without writing to
a release draft. Unset inputs are safe: the action maps an empty string to
undefined, so omitting `filter-by-range` keeps the previous behaviour.

Verified with actionlint. The workflow file name is kept so the existing
Actions run history stays associated; only the display name changes.
