Description

Could we add support for `internal` channels? For example:

```
* curl -fsS https://dl.brave.com/install.sh | CHANNEL=nightly-internal sh
* curl -fsS https://dl.brave.com/install.sh | CHANNEL=beta-internal sh
* curl -fsS https://dl.brave.com/install.sh | CHANNEL=release-internal sh
```

This would help QA immensely, specifically the `release` channel for RC builds. For example, if you wanted to quickly check the latest RC, rather than going into https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/releases and downloading the needed `deb`, just specify `release-internal` on a clean VM and install it quickly.

Research direction

Start with the install.sh entry point and trace how the CHANNEL value selects an installation source. Check the existing channel handling and verify the three internal channel examples on a clean VM; done means each requested channel installs the intended build, especially release-internal for RC builds.
