build(ci): enable auto-release for dependency-update-only releases (#135

)

Automatically perform a Java client library release when:
1. Only dependency updates are going out in the release since any releases containing bug fixes, build changes or new features should be supervised;
2. There are no outstanding/open dependency update pull requests in the repo. This is to avoid multiple/redundant releases;
3. It is a SNAPSHOT release which is automatically generated post regular release -- this requires no human supervision.

Testing done in 5 java-bigquery* client library repos. Example:
[chore: release 0.3.4 ](googleapis/java-bigqueryconnection#130)
[chore: release 0.3.5-SNAPSHOT](googleapis/java-bigqueryconnection#131)
