Subject: [PATCH] fix(ci): accept SemVer pre-release tags in release workflow

The release workflow rejected 'v4.0.0-alpha.1' because the tag regex
only matched vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. Allow optional SemVer pre-release and
build-metadata suffixes so alpha/beta/rc tags can be released.

Also accept the 'next' branch as a valid release source for 4.x, since
4.x is developed on 'next' until GA merges it into 'main'.
