Subject: [PATCH] ci: commit missing release-please-config.json

.github/workflows/release-please.yml has required this file
(config-file: release-please-config.json) since the workflow was
added, but it was never actually committed -- only ever present as an
untracked local file. Confirmed via git history and the complete
absence of any release-please bot PR ever having run: the automated
release pipeline has been silently non-functional this whole time,
despite 39 merged PRs (including real feat: commits) since the last
tag, v2.0.1.

Content unchanged from the untracked working-tree copy -- release-type
python, version-file pyproject.toml, changelog-path CHANGELOG.md,
matching the existing .release-please-manifest.json ("." : "2.0.1").
