feat: mark release as draft until all artifacts are uploaded

Previously, the releases were created and then artifacts (if any)
were added to them. This broke when GitHub released "immutable"
releases, which disallow changes after the release is published.

Make it so that releases are always marked as "draft" when being
worked on by the action, and unmarked as draft (if desired) once
the action is completed.

Fixes #653
