Description

If the package isn't already a prerelease package, cli should query what the prerelease tag should be.

Otherwise, it should just reuse the existing prerelease tag.

Research direction

Start at the CLI flow that determines a package's prerelease version and inspect how an existing prerelease tag is read. The change is done when a non-prerelease package prompts for a tag, while an existing prerelease reuses its tag; add or update tests for both paths.
