chore(ci): automate PostHog Python SDK upgrades

[marandaneto]

💡 Motivation and Context

PostHog uses the Python SDK under two distribution names. The application, LLM gateway, and ingestion tests use posthoganalytics to avoid colliding with PostHog's own Python package. The infra CLI installs the same SDK as posthog.

New Python SDK releases currently require someone to update these declarations and both uv lockfiles manually. This adds a workflow that keeps every declaration on the released SDK version and opens a signed pull request in PostHog/posthog.

The release workflow dispatches the upgrade after publishing posthoganalytics.

💚 How did you test it?

• Ran actionlint against both changed workflows.
• Parsed both changed workflows as YAML.
• Ran the upgrade commands in a clean PostHog worktree with version 7.39.0.
• Confirmed the commands updated the root and LLM gateway manifests and lockfiles, the ingestion test requirement, and the infra CLI requirement.

📝 Checklist

• I reviewed the submitted code.
• I added tests to verify the changes.
• I updated the docs if needed.
• No breaking change or entry added to the changelog.

If releasing new changes

• Ran sampo add to generate a changeset file

🤖 Agent context

Autonomy: Human-driven (agent-assisted)

Pi implemented the workflow from the existing posthog-rs upgrade flow. The workflow treats posthoganalytics and posthog as distribution names for the same SDK release. It updates all six dependency and lock files in the PostHog repository and fails if any expected file remains unchanged.

[marandaneto]

this is similar to posthog-js and posthog-rs already so nothing new
