With this overall change, this PR also:

- Allows re-running of release integration step only
- Makes chores part of the changelog (fixes #378). This also removes the
ability to force a release PR to be recreated since that was only needed
to update releases after chores.
- Creates and uses composite actions for creating check runs and
installing latest npm
- Makes publish step always install deps first so they can be used for
prepare
- tap@16 + typescript will set appropriate configs (fixes #382)
- `dist/` dir will be added to `files` array when using `typescript`
(fixes #383)

#384)

…386)

This also fixes the release manager logging since `core.info` only
allows a single string argument.

These changes are not tested because they are all tested in #334. But I
wanted to fix this bug before that gets reviewed.

This also adds 100% test coverage to `release-please` and
`release-manager` using `nock`.

Fixes #177

- fix: pin release-please version

There is a tradeoff with our usage of release-please. We are using some
`release-please` classes that we import directly from files like `const
{ ManifestPlugin } = require('release-please/build/src/plugin.js')`. Due
to how load bearing our release process is for us, I think it is best to
always pin to an exact version and use dependabot PRs to review all
`release-please` changes.

- chore: update release please mocks and snapshots

This PR also updates mocks and snapshots. I was not expecting this to
need to be updated but they failed in #385. It's possible that the mock
recording or the usage of these mocks inside release-please is
non-deterministic. I will keep an eye on these tests and refactor in the
future if they turn out to be flaky.
