Oversights in #14427 and #14429.

* Changelog

Extend the release script to wait for GitHub Actions to finish and to be usable as a guide for the whole process. (#13483)

Add a `merge-back` command to the release script, which automates merging the correct branches after a release. (#13393)

Extend the release script to automatically push a new SyTest branch, rather than having that be a manual process. (#12978)

Check we're on the right branch before tagging, and on the right tag before uploading

* Abort if we're on the wrong branch
* Check we have the right tag checked out
* Clarify that `publish` only releases to GitHub

Not enforced in config yet. One day.

Poetry now manages the project version in pyproject.toml.

The release script used to incorrectly write `New synapse release 1.57.0~rc1.`
instead of `New synapse release 1.57.0rc1.`

As we want to include the previous version in the "No new changes..."
string.

* rename major/minor into the right semver terminology minor/patch (since this was something that got me very confused the first couple of times I've used the script)
* name the release branch based on the new version, not the previous one

With the prior format, 1.33.0 / 1.33.1 / 1.33.2 got separate branches:

    release-v1.33.0
    release-v1.33.1
    release-v1.33.2

Under the new model, all three would share a common branch:

    release-v1.33

As before, RCs and actual releases exist as tags on these branches.

This better reflects our support model, e.g., that the "1.33" series had
a formal release followed by two patches / updates.
