JACOCO-117 Update GitHub Action to use version 7 for release workflow

Summary

Updates the gh-action_release workflow action from v6 to v7 in the release pipeline. This is a straightforward version bump to the SonarSource release automation action that handles publishing to Maven Central and other distribution channels.

What reviewers should know

What to check:

• Review the gh-action_release v7 release notes for breaking changes or new requirements
• Verify the v7 action still supports the same input parameters (publishToBinaries, mavenCentralSync) used in this workflow
• Confirm this upgrade doesn't affect how artifacts are built, signed, or published

File modified: .github/workflows/release.yml (line 29 only)

This is a low-risk change unless v7 introduced incompatible parameter changes or new prerequisites.

LGTM! ✅

Clean, minimal change. The single-line bump from @v6 to @v7 in release.yml is the only modification, and no other workflow references gh-action_release — so there's no consistency gap elsewhere. The automated-release.yml workflow uses a different action (release-github-actions) and is unaffected.

The existing inputs (publishToBinaries, mavenCentralSync, slackChannel, version, releaseId, dryRun) and permissions (id-token: write, contents: write) are all carried over unchanged. Tag-based pinning (@v7 rather than a commit SHA) is consistent with how other SonarSource shared actions are referenced in this repo (e.g., release-github-actions@v1).
