[CI] Reorganize release pipeline: separate nightly vs release sections

Reorder the pipeline into clear sections for readability:

1. Build Python Wheels (always runs)
2. ROCm Wheel Pipeline (always runs)
3. Nightly Docker Images (NIGHTLY=1 only) - CUDA/Ubuntu builds,
   multi-arch manifests, DockerHub publish, ROCm image + publish
4. Release (manual) - version input, PyPI upload, CPU image builds,
   ROCm root index

Key changes:
- Extract CPU image builds (manual/blocked) from nightly-gated group
  into their own "Build release CPU Docker images" group so they remain
  available for actual releases without NIGHTLY=1
- Move ROCm wheel jobs (1-4) up next to CUDA wheel builds
- Remove redundant per-step NIGHTLY gates inside already-gated groups
- Rename groups: "Build release Docker images" -> "Build nightly Docker
  images", "Publish release images" -> "Publish nightly images"

-"""Detect the manylinux platform tag for a wheel and rename it in place.
-
-vLLM's build images produce wheels with the generic ``linux_<arch>`` platform
-tag, which installers like ``pip`` won't accept off PyPI/our index. We need to
-rewrite the platform tag to the appropriate ``manylinux_<major>_<minor>_<arch>``
-before uploading.
-
-Historically the tag was hard-coded per build (``manylinux_2_31`` for the
-Ubuntu 20.04-based image, ``manylinux_2_35`` for the Ubuntu 22.04-based
-images). That is brittle: bumping the base image silently produces wheels
-labelled with the wrong glibc requirement. This script asks ``auditwheel``
-to derive the tag from the symbol versions actually referenced by the
-binaries inside the wheel, so the label tracks reality.
-
-We can't simply call ``auditwheel repair`` -- it tries to graft external
-shared libraries into the wheel and fails on vLLM's CUDA/cuBLAS dependencies.
-Instead we use ``auditwheel.wheel_abi.analyze_wheel_abi`` directly, which is
-the same call that powers ``auditwheel show``, and read off
-``winfo.sym_policy.name``.
-
-Usage:
-    detect-manylinux-tag.py <wheel_path>
-
-The wheel is renamed in place; the new path is printed on stdout. All
-diagnostics go to stderr so callers can capture stdout safely.

-# Shared helper for rewriting a wheel's platform tag from the generic
-# ``linux_<arch>`` to the correct ``manylinux_<major>_<minor>_<arch>``.
-# After sourcing, call ``apply_manylinux_tag <wheel>`` on each wheel
-# that still carries the generic tag; the renamed path is printed on
-# stdout (logs go to stderr).
-#
-# Why a pinned Docker container instead of using whatever Python
-# happens to be on the agent:
-#   - vLLM's release agents are heterogeneous -- they don't agree on
-#     a Python minor version, and we can't rely on a particular
-#     ``auditwheel`` being installed.
-#   - ``detect-manylinux-tag.py`` reads ``auditwheel.wheel_abi`` and
-#     ``Policy.sym_policy``, which are *internal* APIs without a
-#     stability promise. Pinning both Python and auditwheel makes the
-#     detected tag a function of the inputs alone, and shifts version
-#     bumps from "implicit drift" to "deliberate, retested change".
-#   - Other release scripts (``generate-and-upload-nightly-index.sh``,
-#     ``upload-rocm-wheels.sh``) already use the python:3-slim image
-#     when the agent's interpreter is too old; this is the same idea
-#     made stricter.
-#
-# To keep the per-wheel cost down (the ROCm upload retags ~10 wheels
-# each run), we install auditwheel into a long-lived helper container
-# once on source, then ``docker exec`` into it for each call.
-#
-# Trap behaviour:
-# - Sourcing installs an EXIT trap that calls ``manylinux_cleanup`` to
-#   tear down the helper container. Any EXIT trap that was already in
-#   place when this file was sourced is captured and run AFTER our
-#   cleanup, so we don't silently clobber it.
-# - If a caller sets a new EXIT trap *after* sourcing, that trap will
-#   replace ours; in that case the caller should call
-#   ``manylinux_cleanup`` from their own handler.
