Fix CI failures and add missing package validation

- Fix RuboCop indentation violations in utils_spec.rb
- Fix RSpec mock issues in version_checker_spec.rb by properly mocking Rails.root as Pathname
- Add validation to require at least one package (react-on-rails or react-on-rails-pro) to be installed
- Add test coverage for missing package validation
- Add pre-release version examples to documentation (releasing.md and release.rake)

All tests now pass with 0 failures and 0 RuboCop offenses.
