Summary

Adds .kokoro/release.cfg and .kokoro/release.sh to migrate google-ads-java releases (Maven Central (com.google.api-ads:google-ads*)) to OSS Exit Gate (google-ads-java/mavencentral) via the BAM DevRel Kokoro RBE release pool:

• Builds release artifacts in the Kokoro release container (ubuntu2204/full:current).
• Stages built artifacts to the internal OSS Exit Gate Artifact Registry staging repository (oss-exit-gate-prod).
• Supports DRY_RUN=true (default) to stage and validate artifacts without publishing, and DRY_RUN=false to upload manifest.json to gs://oss-exit-gate-prod-projects-bucket/google-ads-java/mavencentral/manifests to trigger automated BCID verification and production release.
