chore(scripts): remove branch checks from release script (coder#14184)

mafredri · web-flow · commit 49feb12a7f21 · 2024-08-06T14:54:26.000Z
The initial assumption that branch manipulations should be done by this script and not pushed to remote manually has proven to get in the way of the regular release flow. These are just safety-checks to prevent user error, safe to remove. Fixes coder#13648
