fix: Azure Blob tests and release workflow race condition

- Azure Blob tests now skip in CI and when Azurite is unavailable
- Added proper nil checks to prevent panic on storage creation failure
- Release workflow now creates release in separate job before builds
- Build jobs upload to existing release ID instead of racing to create
