Subject: [PATCH] Enable GH releases for RC (#8524)

This PR enables the creation of GH releases (as draft and marked as
pre-release) for RCs.

Motivations for doing so:
- test that part of the workflow, in particular that all binaries are
correctly produced
- test the binary using `cargo binstall`
- these releases a single-click deletable from GH (if we want to do so)
- GH releases marked as "pre-release" aren't displayed in the GH project
page

Pending questions: do we want that?  what about alphas?
