    Add release wizard step around build failures (#789)
    
    This PR adds a preparation step to look at builds@lucene.apache.org and address
    recurring failures. This helps make sure we catch and fix known bugs before
    spinning the release candidate. It also prevents flaky tests from failing
    during the release vote (which adds confusion).
