Subject: [PATCH] CI(release): add time to RC PR branch names (#11547)

## Problem

We can't have more than one open release PR created on the same day (due
to non-unique enough branch names).

## Summary of changes
- Add time (hours and minutes) to RC PR branch names
- Also make sure we use UTC for releases
