Description

I try to use release-please to create prerelease versions like v1.0.0-beta.1 und then make a stable version from it (v1.0.0). For this I need a way to manipulate either the ["prerelease" property](https://github.com/googleapis/release-please/blob/422df5a6a9d44a52c6c682563d1795b8fd246215/docs/manifest-releaser.md?plain=1#L200) or the ["versioning" property](https://github.com/googleapis/release-please/blob/422df5a6a9d44a52c6c682563d1795b8fd246215/schemas/config.json#L27) of release-please.

Is there any reason why those (and some other configuration properties, which are present in release-please) are not configurable through this action?

Research direction

Start by comparing the action's available inputs with the release-please properties linked in docs/manifest-releaser.md and schemas/config.json. Identify how prerelease and versioning are currently represented in the action configuration, then check the existing action documentation and tests, if present. Done means the requested properties can be supplied through the action and their behavior is documented and covered by the relevant checks.
