fix: make release PR creation robust against race conditions

Two fixes:
- Use BASE_BRANCH (with fallback) instead of DEFAULT_BRANCH for the
  PR base field, preventing empty base causing 404
- Replace fixed sleep with branch readiness poll (up to 10 attempts)
  and add retry loop for PR creation (up to 5 attempts), fixing
  intermittent 404 when Gitea hasn't indexed the branch yet
