Description of the change:
Motivation for the change:
The Release process has had issues completing from time to time, hitting long timeouts.
In doing a deep dive, I think the cause is either (a) storage on runners, or (b) CPU utilization. I can't really diagnose either reliably without running a self-hosted runner, and there's no guarantee that I can replicate.
We've seen build times of anywhere from 35 minutes, to as long as 4 hours (after I extended timeouts).
The project is committed to Goreleaser as a release toolchain.
If the image build task is separated from the goreleaser task, it stands to reason that most of our challenges will be alleviated, given that each architecture gets its own runner for the build phase.
