fix: configure git identity in release action before tagging (#7471)

DennisOSRM · Copilot · web-flow · commit 63fba02a92f2 · 2026-04-12T14:18:27.000+02:00
The 'Create git tag' step was failing with 'Committer identity unknown' because
git identity was only configured in the conditional 'Commit version update' step.
When that step was skipped (no version changes), git identity was never set.

Now git config is called directly in the 'Create git tag' step to ensure
git identity is always available for annotated tag creation.
