fix(checkver): skip default JSONPath for scripts

[massimomazzariol]

Description

Skip the default GitHub API JSONPath when checkver.script is configured. Explicit jsonpath settings continue to work.

Closes #6681

Testing

• Reproduced the issue with GitHub mode, a custom script, and regex
• Verified normal GitHub mode still uses $.tag_name
• Verified explicit JSONPath still applies to script output
• Windows PowerShell 5.1: 121 passed, 0 failed
• PowerShell 7: 121 passed, 0 failed
