feat: parameterize pre-release prefix

[flxapps]

Summary

This PR fixes pre-release version handling so the suffix is no longer implicitly tied to dev.
A new workflow input, pre_release_prefix, is now wired through to the version command and into version calculation logic.

Why this change

Pre-release versions were effectively hard-coded to a dev style suffix (for example 3.0.0-dev.1), which is too restrictive for different release flows.
The workflow now supports configurable prefixes while keeping a sensible default behavior.

What changed

• Added/used pre_release_prefix as a workflow_call input in .github/workflows/pr_workflow.yaml:
  • Type: string
  • Default: "" (empty)
• Updated the version step arguments in the PR workflow:
  • --pre-release is still only added when pre_release=true
  • --pre-release-prefix <value> is now added only when pre_release_prefix is non-empty
• Propagated prefix handling in versioning code (lib/version/version.dart):
  • preReleasePrefix is part of the version(...) flow
  • forwarded to calculateNextVersion(...)

Resulting behavior

• pre_release: true + pre_release_prefix: "dev" → 3.0.0-dev.1
• pre_release: true + pre_release_prefix: "" → 3.0.0-1
• pre_release: false ignores pre-release suffixing as before

Notes

• Existing callers remain compatible because pre_release_prefix has a default empty value.
• This keeps release semantics flexible across teams without forcing a single naming convention.

Pull request overview

This PR introduces parameterized pre-release version prefixes, removing the hard-coded "dev" suffix and allowing configurable pre-release version formats. Previously, pre-release versions were always formatted as 3.0.0-dev.1; now they default to 3.0.0-1 when no prefix is specified, or can use a custom prefix like 3.0.0-dev.1 when --pre-release-prefix dev is provided.

Changes:

• Added pre_release_prefix workflow input and command-line option to both version and version-workspace commands
• Updated pre-release version calculation logic to support configurable prefixes with proper separator handling
• Updated existing tests to reflect new default behavior (no prefix) and added a test for custom prefix usage
• Refactored code to eliminate duplicate baseRef calculation in version.dart
