chore(ci): restore -large runner for Linux release builds

[jdx]

Summary

• Revert the Linux portion of #9786: switch build-tarball-linux back to namespace-profile-endev-linux-amd64-large.
• macOS runners are left on the smaller profile (those jobs succeeded).

Why

All 6 Linux release-tarball jobs in run 25739820241 failed identically: rustc got SIGKILL'd during the final LTO link of mise. The non-large Namespace runner reports as 4x8 (4 CPU / 8 GB RAM) in the runner setup log, and the serious profile enables LTO, which pushes the linker past available RAM. Output from a failed job:

error: could not compile `mise` (bin "mise")

Caused by:
  process didn't exit successfully: `rustc ... -C opt-level=3 -C lto ...` (signal: 9, SIGKILL: kill)

Windows and macOS builds were unaffected.

Test plan

• Trigger a release workflow (next tag push, or manual dispatch of release.yml) and confirm all Linux tarball jobs succeed.

Note

Low Risk
Low risk CI-only change that just alters runner sizing; main impact is build stability/cost rather than product behavior.

Overview
Updates the release.yml workflow so build-tarball-linux runs on namespace-profile-endev-linux-amd64-large instead of the smaller Linux runner profile, improving reliability of release tarball builds under memory-heavy Rust LTO linking.

Greptile Summary

Reverts the Linux release-build runner to namespace-profile-endev-linux-amd64-large after the smaller 4x8 (4 CPU / 8 GB RAM) profile caused rustc to be SIGKILL'd during the LTO link phase on all 6 Linux tarball jobs. macOS runners are left on the smaller profile since those builds succeeded without issue.

• Restores namespace-profile-endev-linux-amd64-large for the build-tarball-linux job matrix.
• macOS builds remain on the smaller (non-large) Namespace profile from the previous PR.

Confidence Score: 5/5

Safe to merge — single-line CI config revert restoring a previously working runner profile.

The change is a minimal, targeted revert of one runner label in the Linux build matrix. The failure mode (OOM during LTO) is well-documented and the fix directly addresses it. macOS runners are intentionally left unchanged. No logic, security, or data concerns.

No files require special attention.
