Truncate `generateReleaseNotes` when exceeding GitHub's API maximum length

Describe the bug
Whenever you set generateReleaseNotes: true and have a release with a body that exceeds 125,000 characters you have an error in the GH Action
See an example at https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin/actions/runs/6677611149/job/18147798020
Expected behavior
release-action should truncate with ... to avoid exceeding the maximum char length.

GitHub creates the release notes as part of the release creation process, there is no opportunity for action to intercept the contents and truncate (at least not the way this action uses the api).
If this is an issue in you repo you can manually set the body yourself (generating via a script, etc).
