Add prerelease: auto to release config so GoReleaser detects semver prerelease suffixes (-rc, -alpha, -beta) and sets the GitHub release prerelease flag accordingly.

Summary
Add
prerelease: autoto.goreleaser.yamlso GoReleaser automatically detects semver prerelease suffixes (-rc.N,-alpha.N,-beta.N) and sets the GitHub releaseprereleaseflag accordingly.Problem
Prerelease tags (e.g.,
v1.0.0-rc.1) would be published as full releases. This meansbrew upgradewould install them as the latest stable version, and the GitHub releases page shows them alongside stable releases without distinction.Change
One-line addition to the existing
release:block in.goreleaser.yaml. Stable tags (e.g.,v1.0.0) continue to be marked as full releases.
