Dpl: github releases: pre-release support

[liamstask]

I'm not sure what the best way to provide support for this would be, but I would like to be able to mark releases as pre-releases on github.

Two options I can think of:

• ability to simply mark all releases deployed by dpl as pre-release. the user can update them later to full releases by some other mechanism
• ability to specify pre-release for a given set of branch names. any releases from these branches would be marked as pre-release, otherwise as release.

I would prefer some version of option 2, if possible.

It appears to me that it's a straightforward case of passing prerelease: true to the payload. https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/releases/#create-a-release

[BanzaiMan]

Rule-based prerelease might be easier, since otherwise I suspect tweaking .travis.yml for each prerelease becomes a hassle.

As @BanzaiMan mentioned just adding prerelease: true under the deploy section makes release to be marked as pre-release.
example:

deploy:
  provider: releases
  prerelease: true
  api_key: ....

no support for conditional though..

@orius123 Does that work right now? It's not in the documentation. Or were you saying it should work like that? I'd like to have this..

[orius123]

Dunno.. haven't tried for a while now.. worked back then.

Just tried and it seems to work fine. Would be nice to see it in the docs.
