ci(release): verify signature by cert thumbprint, not OS trust chain

Get-AuthenticodeSignature on the GHA runner returns UnknownError for
our self-signed yotsuda cert because the runner's machine trust store
doesn't contain the root — the cert chain build fails even when the
signature itself is cryptographically valid (AzureSignTool reports
"Signing completed successfully" upstream). Verify by exact thumbprint
match instead; that's the question we actually want answered ("was
the binary signed with the right cert?"), independent of whether the
runner happens to trust the root.
