kettle-release opens a "release validation PR" before merging a release
branch into main, titled "Release <branch-name>" — reusing whatever
branch happened to be checked out rather than a conventionally-prefixed
one. The JRuby/TruffleRuby job `if:` conditions only ran on PRs whose
branch started with `engines/`, `jruby/`/`truffleruby/`, or
`feature/release`, so a validation PR on an arbitrarily-named branch
silently skips engine CI instead of validating the release.

Add `startsWith(github.event.pull_request.title, 'Release ')` as an
additional match alongside the existing branch-prefix checks, so engine
CI runs for these release-validation PRs regardless of the branch name
kettle-release reuses. Applied identically to every job in this repo
that shares the condition.

Same fix as galtzo-floss/turbo_tests2#50, scripted across the family
instead of waiting for a full kettle-jem retemplate; also needs landing
in the kettle-jem template itself.
