Pull Request Overview
This PR reorders workflow steps to create the mergeback PR after the GitHub release is created, reducing the likelihood of publishing a tag but not a release.
- The "Create mergeback branch and PR" step is moved from before the release creation to after it
- The step execution order now ensures the release is fully published before initiating the mergeback process

I also changed this so that we will try to open the mergeback even if the tag exists. This means we can retry generating the mergeback if this workflow fails, even if the tag is already published.
