Fix make_release workflow to properly handle alpha and beta releases (n…

# Description

For the current implementation, prerelease is set to true only if `rc`
is in reference. So it set to true if `ref` is `refs/tags/v0.5.0rc1` and
not set if `refs/tags/v0.5.0` or `refs/tags/v0.5.0a1`

This PR fixes it to properly handle refs like `refs/tags/v0.5.0a1` or
`refs/tags/v0.5.0b10`
