GHA-154 Fix automated-release workflow to generate correct integration PRs

[nils-werner-sonarsource]

This pull request updates the .github/workflows/automated-release.yml workflow to improve how release-related outputs and environment variables are managed and summarized. The main changes focus on fixing output propagation for integration tickets, ensuring fallback values for environment variables, and streamlining the summary reporting.

Workflow output and environment variable improvements:

• Added missing output propagation for integration ticket URLs (sqc-ticket-url and sqs-ticket-url) in the create-integration-tickets job, ensuring these links are available to downstream jobs.
• Updated environment variable assignments in the Post Summary to Workflow step to use outputs from previous jobs, with fallback values if outputs are missing, improving robustness of the summary. [1] [2]

Summary reporting enhancements:

• Changed the summary output to use environment variables and a cat <<EOF block for more readable and maintainable reporting of key release links.

Workflow dependency and output cleanup:

• Updated the update-analyzers job to depend on both prepare-release and create-integration-tickets jobs, ensuring required outputs are available before running analyzer updates.
• Removed unused outputs for integration tickets from the release-in-jira job, cleaning up the workflow configuration.
