Issue body
This removes Release Drafter from `craft-store` by deleting both its GitHub Actions workflow and repository-level configuration. The repository no longer runs or maintains automated draft release notes via Release Drafter.
- **Workflow removal**
- Deleted `.github/workflows/release-drafter.yaml`, which scheduled and triggered Release Drafter on PR events.
- **Configuration removal**
- Deleted `.github/release-drafter.yml`, removing the release notes template/categories used by the workflow.
- **Net effect**
- Eliminates inactive/undesired release-drafting automation and associated config surface from `.github`.
```yaml
# Removed workflow reference
uses: release-drafter/release-drafter@v7.3.0
