[infrastructure] trigger release tests for stable and RC releases

## sync 0.74.6 fix/ios-relogin

NewAuth built a fresh in-memory config on every call via
CreateInMemoryConfig, which generates a new WireGuard private key when
none is set. The iOS Swift layer calls this on interactive re-login and
writes the resulting config back to the profile's netbird.cfg, so each
re-auth replaced the peer's persisted private key with a new one. A new
key means a new public key, so the management server registered a
brand-new peer on every re-authentication — named after the fallback
hostname.

Load the existing config with DirectUpdateOrCreateConfig when a config
file is already present so re-login reuses the peer's persisted private
key (and its identity). Only fall back to a fresh in-memory config for
the first-time login when no config file exists yet (or after logout,
which deletes the file). DirectUpdateOrCreateConfig uses non-atomic
writes so it also works inside the tvOS App Group sandbox. This matches
what Run() and LoginForMobile() already do.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

- **Bug Fixes**
- Improved iOS login handling when a configuration location is provided.
- Existing WireGuard keys can now be reused across subsequent logins,
helping avoid unnecessary key regeneration.
- Login continues to support temporary in-memory configuration when no
persistent location is available.
