Subject: [PATCH] Create Github releases with empty body for now (#10448)

## Problem
When releasing `release-7574`, the Github Release creation failed with
"body is too long" (see
/~https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/actions/runs/12834025431/job/35792346745#step:5:77).
There's lots of room for improvement of the release notes, but for now
we'll disable them instead.

## Summary of changes
- Disable automatic generation of release notes for Github releases
- Enable creation of Github releases for proxy/compute
