Subject: [PATCH] chore: resume CCI runs on release-please branch (#4034)

Allow running CCI on release-please branch again.

This is not ideal, since it is wasted work, but presently there are
required statuses from CCI on our github PRs, so when CCI doesn't run on
release-please branch, it requires an admin for force merge.
