This adds full RC release support to the release scripts and GitHub
Actions workflow. Previously, the tooling only supported stable and
mainline releases with strict vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH semver tags.
Changes:
- scripts/releaser/version.go: Add Pre field to version struct for
prerelease suffixes (e.g. "rc.0"), update regex, parsing, String(),
comparison methods, and add IsRC()/rcNumber() helpers.
- scripts/releaser/release.go: Detect RC branches (release/X.Y-rc.N),
suggest RC version numbers, auto-set "rc" channel (skipping
stable/mainline prompt), add RC advisory to release notes, skip docs
update for RC releases.
- .github/workflows/release.yaml: Add "rc" channel option, fix branch
derivation for RC tags (v2.32.0-rc.0 -> release/2.32-rc.0 instead of
broken release/2.32.0-rc), skip homebrew/winget/package publishing for
RC releases.
- scripts/release/publish.sh: Add --rc flag, pass --prerelease to gh
release create for RC releases.
- scripts/releaser/version_test.go: Add comprehensive unit tests for
version parsing, string formatting, IsRC, rcNumber, GreaterThan, and
Equal with RC versions.

The slices package provides type-safe generic replacements for the
old typed sort convenience functions. The codebase already uses
slices.Sort in 43 call sites; this finishes the migration for the
remaining 29.
- sort.Strings(x) -> slices.Sort(x)
- sort.Float64s(x) -> slices.Sort(x)
- sort.StringsAreSorted(x) -> slices.IsSorted(x)
