Subject: [PATCH] ci(release): skip release workflows on template repos

Template repos (Template-*) scaffold other repos and are not meant to
publish releases. Guard the release/promote-rc jobs in auto-release.yml
and the build job in pre-release.yml so they skip when the repo name
starts with 'Template-'.

Stopgap patch mirroring MokoConsulting/Template-Generic#47 (the canonical
source); this will be reaffirmed on the next workflow sync.
