DEV: Refactor Discourse::VERSION and add -dev support (#22807)

For the Discourse 3.2 beta series, we intend to use a `-dev` suffix while beta versions are being developed in `main`/`tests-passed`. When a beta version is ready, it will be 'released' without the `-dev` suffix.

This commit adds support for the `-dev` suffix, and also refactors `Discourse::VERSION` so that the canonical representation is a simple human-readable string. Constants for each segment are derived  from that, so the interface remains unchanged.
