build: manage rc releases

[ndr-brt]

What this PR changes/adds

Handles RC versions:

• in the way the SNAPSHOT version is managed (1.0.0-rc1 will set the 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT version)
• to skip the bump version action for subsequent rc releases, that should result in the same snapshot version
• running a "standard" dependency check and not a strict one, that should be reserved for final releases (the strictness was commented in the latest release because of some build dependencies, now we're ready to come back to strictness for the upcoming 1.0.0)
• publish a rc version as a GH "prerelease"

Why it does that
