Have security pipeline create GitLab release

Overview

We have a private fork of gitlab-runner where developers and release managers can work on security fixes and releases so that a security vulnerability is not public until production is patched and the fix is tested.

Problem

We have a job stable gitlab release where it's a manual action for the release manager to trigger the job when the security release is announced. However if we look at a previous job it created the release in gitlab-org/security/gitlab-runner and not in gitlab-org/gitlab-runner. The script should always create it for gitlab-org/gitlab-runner

Proposal

Update the release script to be so that 250833 is always the runner_id unless explicitly overridden.
