ci: fetch annotated tags during release/build-dylib (coder#15738)

The release action [ran into an issue](https://github.com/coder/coder/actions/runs/12147281426) building the dylib today, as the version script that's run during the build job was unable to find an annotated tag. This is a step it skips during dry-runs. ``` ERROR: version.sh: the current commit is not tagged with an annotated tag ``` This was almost certainly caused by omitting the `git fetch --tags --force` that's present on each other release action job, as the workflow passes on a release dry-run when run against a regular branch, that's not an annotated tag. From an existing comment: > If the event that triggered the build was an annotated tag (which our tags are supposed to be), actions/checkout has a bug where the tag in question is only a lightweight tag and not a full annotated tag.
