feat(tools): fallback to previous release when asset is missing

When fetch_and_deploy_gh_release fails to find a matching asset in the
target release (binary/prebuild/singlefile modes), scan up to 15 older
releases for a compatible asset. Prompts the user with a 60s timeout
(default: yes) before using the fallback version.

Addresses issues like SigNoz #11652 where the latest release has no
matching OTel collector binary.
