Description
I want to create a new tag, but have no suffix added by the action. However the use of the ternary operator in the action.ts code means that it interepts this empty string as not providing a value and instead uses the default of the branch name.

Basically, we need some way to be able to provide an empty string if we want nothing appended

Research direction
Start at src/action.ts around line 65, where the append_to_pre_release_tag value is selected. Trace the tag-generation path and verify that an explicitly empty suffix is preserved rather than replaced by the branch name; done means the action can create a tag with no appended suffix.
