Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...]

Apps such as Obtainium which pull .apk-s from URLs to install them on Android devices, utilize the pre-release tags in GitHub releases to offer an option to their users to disable or enable downloading pre-release versions of apps. In the case of Orbot which dos not use these tags, Obtainium – or even a run-of-the-mill user who goes to the release page – cannot differentiate between Beta and Stable Orbot releases. This may put users at risk of updating to unstable builds.

**Describe the Solution You'd Like**
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

Apply Pre-release tag to Beta and Alpha builds of Orbot and other Tor Project repos.
