add release-please JIRA integration

Description

AAI-812: Extends release-please to add tagging JIRA tickets with fixed version when making a release.

Changed

• Adds a notify-jira job to the release-please workflow that automatically tags JIRA tickets with a fix version on every release
• Extracts AAI-* ticket IDs from commit messages, PR titles/bodies, and branch names
• Creates a matching fix version in JIRA (e.g. v1.4.0) and stamps fixVersions on each discovered ticket

Details

When a release is created by release-please, the new job:

• Collects all commits between the previous and current release tag
• Scrapes AAI-* ticket references from git log and the GitHub API (PR title, body, branch name) to catch tickets not mentioned in commit messages
• Creates or reuses a JIRA fix version named after the release tag
• Appends the fix version to each ticket's fixVersions field without overwriting existing versions

Required secrets

Two repository secrets (already added) must be set for this to work:

• JIRA_USER_EMAIL — currently set as amanda@biocommons.org.au
• JIRA_API_TOKEN — Atlassian API token with project and issue read/write access. This token will be expired on 17th April 2026. A BioCloud team calendar event is set one day prior to the expiration date (April 16 2027).

Test plan

• Tested locally against v1.4.0 — correctly identified AAI-796 and tagged it with fix version v1.4.0 in JIRA
