ci(release): don't download benchmark artifacts in build_docs.py (#2147)

We could just do this in the release.yml workflow with actions/download-artifact, now that v4 supports downloads from arbitrary workflow runs. But we probably want to run fresh benchmarks at release time.

Also remove some awkward tests for things that get exercised nightly in the release workflow anyway.
