ci: Upgrade Release Please to v4

[tippmar-nr]

Upgrades Release Please to version 4. Resolves #2124

Adds a release-please/release-please-config.json file that maps configuration options previously given on the command line of the release-please workflow. The release-please/.release-please-manifest.json file seems to be required for the initial run and will be ignored on future releases. I think.

Also uses the sentence-case plugin, which will capitalize the leading word in a commit message, taking into account common exceptions, e.g., gRPC.

Tested locally (running via NodeJs) and on a dry-run, generated output that exactly matches the current release please PR:

10.20.1 (2023-12-08)
