Subject: [PATCH] Create a release draft if none is found during release

Release draft not found is usually caused by
mismatching target branch name: while
release-drafter uses `refs/head/master`,
`gh release` needs (or always used to need)
`master` which needed to be edited manually
on the GitHub Releases page. This change is
a precaution so a release is published regardless
the existence of release notes which can be
always added later.
