### Amplify Hosting feature

Deployments

### Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe:

When Heroku deploys a [Review App](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/github-integration-review-apps) it attaches that as a deploy to the Pull Request e.g.

![Image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/723273ec-ea39-4dec-bdd7-b7752618d479)

But when Amplify deploys a preview app, it attaches a comment instead:

![Image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f7fec451-b765-4792-a0d6-2b6ea0ba880e)

This causes unnecessary scrolling and GitHub notifications i.e. I want to be notified once of a new PR not twice.

### Describe how you'd like this feature to work

Integrate with GitHub "releases" and attach this preview app to the PR without posting a comment.

Done means the preview app is attached to the pull request through GitHub's deployment or release integration without posting a separate comment, while preserving the preview link.
