1. A wellbore completion method comprising: disposing a pressure relief-assisted packer comprising two packer elements within an axial flow bore of a first tubular string disposed within a wellbore so as to define an annular space between the pressure relief-assisted packer and the first tubular string, wherein the pressure relief-assisted packer further comprises a pressure relief volume fully enclosed within a pressure relief chamber and sealed by a rupture disk disposed between the annular space and the pressure relief chamber; andsetting the pressure relief-assisted packer such that the rupture disk loses structural integrity due to a pressure within the annular space reaching a threshold pressure, and allows fluid communication between the annular space and the pressure relief volume during the setting of the pressure relief-assisted packer. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein disposing the pressure relief-assisted packer within the axial flow bore of the first tubular string comprises disposing at least a portion of a second tubular string within the axial flow bore of the first tubular string, wherein the pressure relief-assisted packer is incorporated within the second tubular string. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the first tubular string, the second tubular string, or both comprises a casing string. 4. The method of claim 2, further comprising: introducing a cementitious slurry into an annular space surrounding at least a portion of the second tubular string and relatively downhole from the two packer elements; andallowing the cementitious slurry to set. 5. The method of claim 2, further comprising: introducing a cementitious slurry into an annular space between the second tubular string and the first tubular string and relatively uphole from the two packer elements; andallowing the cementitious slurry to set. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein setting the pressure relief-assisted packer comprises longitudinally compressing the two packer elements to cause the two packer elements to expand radially such that the two packer elements engage the first tubular string. 7. The method of claim 1, further comprising allowing the first packer element and the second packer element to slide laterally along two oppositely facing angled surfaces of the pressure relief chamber during the setting of the pressure relief-assisted packer. 8. The method of claim 1, further comprising maintaining a volume of fluid within the pressure relief chamber when the pressure relief chamber is sealed by the rupture disk. 9. A wellbore completion system comprising: a pressure relief-assisted packer, wherein the pressure relief-assisted packer is disposed within an axial flow bore of a first casing string disposed within a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation, and wherein the pressure relief-assisted packer comprises: a first packer element;a second packer element; anda pressure relief chamber for fully enclosing a pressure relief volume, wherein the pressure relief chamber comprises a rupture disk for sealing the pressure relief chamber, the rupture disk being disposed between the pressure relief volume and an annular space between the pressure relief-assisted packer and the first casing string, wherein the rupture disk is configured to lose structural integrity due to a pressure within the annular space reaching a threshold pressure to allow fluid communication between the pressure relief volume and the annular space such that the pressure relief volume relieves a pressure between the first packer element and the second packer element; anda second casing string, wherein the pressure relief-assisted packer is incorporated within the second casing string. 10. The wellbore completion system of claim 9, wherein the threshold pressure is in the range of from about 1,000 p.s.i. to about 10,000 p.s.i. 11.

The wellbore completion system of claim 9, wherein the pressure relief chamber comprises one or more ramped surfaces. 13. The wellbore completion system of claim 12, wherein the first and second packer elements are positioned on opposite sides of the pressure relief chamber and slidable relative to the pressure relief chamber such that the first packer element can slide laterally along a first ramped surface of the pressure relief chamber and the second packer element can slide laterally along a second ramped surface of the pressure relief chamber. 14. The wellbore completion system of claim 9, wherein the pressure relief chamber comprises a cylindrical or ring-like structure. 15. The wellbore completion system of claim 14, wherein the rupture disk comprises a rupture panel with a ring-like configuration and extending radially around the pressure relief chamber. 16. The wellbore completion system of claim 9, wherein the pressure relief chamber comprises a triangular cross-sectional shape. 17. The wellbore completion system of claim 9, wherein the pressure relief chamber comprises a base surface, a first chamber surface, and a second chamber surface, wherein the first and second chamber surfaces converge outwardly away from the base surface, and wherein the rupture disk is disposed at a point of convergence of the first and second chamber surfaces to control fluid communication into or out of the pressure relief chamber. 18. The wellbore completion system of claim 9, wherein the pressure relief chamber further comprises a plurality of rupture disks for sealing the pressure relief chamber. 19. The wellbore completion system of claim 9, wherein the pressure relief chamber contains a fluid when sealed by the rupture disk. 20. A wellbore completion method comprising: disposing a pressure relief-assisted packer within an axial flow bore of a first tubular string disposed within a wellbore, wherein the pressure relief-assisted packer comprises: a first packer element;a second packer element; anda pressure relief chamber fully enclosing a pressure relief volume, wherein the pressure relief chamber comprises a rupture disk for sealing the pressure relief chamber, the rupture disk being disposed between the pressure relief volume and an annular space between the first packer element and the second packer element;causing the first packer element and the second packer element to expand radially so as to engage the first tubular string, wherein causing the first packer element and the second packer element to expand radially causes an increase in pressure in the annular space between the first packer element and the second packer element, wherein the increase in pressure in the annular space causes the rupture disk to lose structural integrity upon reaching a threshold pressure to allow the pressure relief volume to come into fluid communication with the annular space. 21. The wellbore completion method of claim 20, wherein the pressure relief-assisted packer is incorporated within a second tubular string. 22. The wellbore completion method of claim 20, further comprising longitudinally compressing the first and second packer elements to cause the first and second packer elements to expand radially, and allowing the first packer element and the second packer element to slide laterally along angled surfaces of the pressure relief chamber as the first and second packer elements are longitudinally compressed. 23. The wellbore completion method of claim 20, causing the first and second packer elements to expand radially comprises: enabling fluid communication to or from a hydraulic fluid reservoir defined by a housing of the pressure relief-assisted packer and a sleeve of the pressure relief-assisted packer;sliding the sleeve laterally with respect to the housing in response to fluid communication to or from the hydraulic fluid reservoir; andcompressing the first and second packer elements laterally between a surface of the sleeve and a surface of the housing as the sleeve slides laterally with respect to the housing, wherein the first packer element is disposed between the surface of the sleeve and a first surface of the pressure relief chamber, and wherein the second packer element is disposed between the surface of the housing and an opposing second surface of the pressure relief chamber.
